¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have soldered thousands of 5 pin dins! CB radio days . Flux is your friend here just a little. Then a small tip and a very hot iron +760deg . If you hold iron on post for more than 2 seconds it¡¯s going to melt ! I earlier post someone said put the din in the socket . ?We had a junk radio on a pan vise , just a 2 ¡° by ?2¡±. Part of radio with socket. Worked great ! You could turn it for next wire and it was a heat sink.? ? It takes practice! Remember fixing a lot of dins that CBer tried to wire .? High heat ? ?Flux. ?No more than 2 seconds or even less ?! You should have a fighting chance!? 73s Byron AC9PA? On Apr 10, 2021, at 8:29 AM, Dieter Horst <dieter.horst@...> wrote:

Fully agree, Neutrik is really good stuff. Worth every Cent. You may also try Hirschmann/Belden connectors. I had good
experience with them, too. Sometimes you can tell just from the price. If it's too cheap, don't be surprised if it's not worth more than you paid. If it comes to coaxial (and other) connectors, I make no more compromises. Did that when I was as student and had little money. Often ended up with melted connectors... Someone said that proper heat is important. I second that. Too low temperatures of your solding iron are usually worse than too high. You just have to keep the time short. Good luck with your next DIN connector! 73, Dieter DL5RDO

Have you tried Neutrik? I've never used their DIN connectors but other connectors that I have used are primo top-notch stuff. 73 -Jim NU0C On Fri, 9 Apr 2021 09:45:26 -0500 "Paul Kraemer" <elespe@...> wrote: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. Paul K0UYA |
