<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keep the male and female plugged up, tin both the
plug staub? and the wire with plenty of flux paste. A good sized clean
tipped iron seems to work best--but a good HOT gun will do. I clamp the
plug into a small drill vise--more paste on the connector and wire--heat the
back-side of the connector and let the heat transfer through the connector to
the wire for it all to melt together. Don't mess around too long or you'll
melt the high heat plastic. I generally hold the wire with needle-nosed
pliers with my hand resting on the bench for stability. Don't know if this
is the 'proper' way--but I get a good joint. Remember to put your heat
shrink tubing on the wire BEFORE the soldering operation for sliding it down on
to it afterward. On a high usage connector, I have used two sizes of heat
shrink tubing to help transfer some of the stresses away from the
joint.</FONT></DIV>
