I believe the Mouser description is incorrect. The Amphenol UHF catalog at: http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/CatalogPages/UHF.pdf clearly shows the 83-1SP as having silver body plating while the plating on the 83-1SP-1050 is nickel. That said, I have never had any trouble soldering to the 83-1SP-1050. I tin the braid then use an American Beauty 100 or 200 watt iron. It is important that the tip have enough thermal mass. Even a Weller 550 soldering gun does not have a large enough tip.
