Yeah, all the DINs I have do melt extremely easily!
The trick I found is to plug them into the socket while soldering.
The problem I saw was the pin alignment drifted, is that what you are seeing?

Does anyone know of a good brand of these pesky connectors?? By good I mean NOT a plastic body that melts at the mere sight of a soldering iron?? I have soldered more than a few connections in my life but I really hate having to put one of these together.? Even fine wire and micro tip with the heat turned down I seem to ruin three to get one good one made up.? A PTFE body would be excellent but I haven't found them---yet.
