I use the following procedure to\nsolder PL-259s.\n\n1. Always use silver plated connectors.  The solder flows better.\n\n2. Use a small soldering iron to lightly tin the shield.  I use a\n33 watt Ungar with a chisel tip.  Solder will flow extremely \nquickly across the shield with this element.  Just do it in quick\nstripes and don't try to make a thick coating.  Thinner is better.\nYou may have to look twice to see where it's tinned and where\nit's not.\n\n3. Screw the coax into the PL-259 and use a 140 watt gun to\nsolder the holes to the tinned braid.  Give enough time between\neach hole to let the connector cool down.  Maybe use a pair of\npliers to cool it quicker.\n\n4. Use the iron again to solder the center conductor after it's\nall cool again.\n\nThe key to this is using enough concentrated heat to be able\nto solder through the hole to the shield, so that you don't\nhave to heat the whole PL-259 to melting temps.  Of course, \nI do have the occasional problem, but this has worked pretty \nwell for me for years.\n\nBob - AE6RV\n",
