Use a taper reamer to enlarge the four solder holes in the body of the connector as much as possible. The holes will then be the diameter of the U-shaped area in the connector body, making soldering iron contact with the previously tinned braid much easier.
This is an _excellent_ suggestion! Larger holes will make everything easier -- more solder iron contact with the braid and easier solder flow. The tiny stock holes. seriously impede solder flowing onto the braid.
Thanks for the great idea! -- 73, Mike N4CF Louisa County, VA USA Elecraft KX3 #3118, 10W Carolina Windom up 45' http://n4cf.mdodd.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
