Figure 64 – Flaring the outer conductor
10. Solder the pin to the inner conductor:
1. Cut 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter solder to a length equal to the depth of the pin cup, roll the length
into a ball, and insert it into the pin cup. When the pin cup is heated by the soldering iron, this
solder will melt and provide a even solder bond on the inside of the pin cup.
2. Use the heat shield, soldering pliers and soldering iron to solder the pin to the inner conductor,
as shown in Figure 65. Apply extra solder to the holes in the pin cup if required.
3. Remove excess solder from the solder holes using wire cutters and/or emery paper.
