[QUOTE="croak, post: 829975, member: 361"] Have you done this? Many plugs are made of a mix of materials or are plated with a material that?s hard to solder too. The pins absorb a lot of heat from the iron before solder can actually flow. I don?t think you could do it with plugs in the plastic shell. You need a pretty decent iron with a big chisel tip too. I have done quite a few and it?s not a job for sissies. The pins remain hot enough to cause burns for at least 60 seconds after. [/QUOTE]
