Phil,
That is a statement that should be applied to any thru-hole soldering.
I believe it is made so those who have little or no soldering experience
will pay attention.
One should use a temperature controlled soldering iron, and apply heat
long enough (but only long enough) to see the solder flow out onto both
the board and component.
If you linger on the connection, that is when damage occurs.
It is no more difficult than any other thru-hole component soldering.

Two questions:
(1) what is your assessment of the level of difficulty of adding the 2-meter
option to a K3 (easiest option to hardest would be a reasonable range).
(2) my one concern is soldering the connector to the K3 board. Instructions
limit soldering to prevent from melting the connector. So, is this a sensitive
soldering act requiring expert attention?
