| Ruk <rthekeeper@zed.net>: Jul 06 05:06PM -0400 In a pinch and don't have anything except the BNC like here: https://media.digikey.com/Photos/Amphenol%20Photos/031-10-RFXG1.jpg In other words, I don't have the nut, lock washer or solder lug. Is it possible for solder to stick to the outside of the BNC, like the threads, etc? Thank you. |

Take a file and file off the plating unless it is silver to get to the brass for easier soldering. |

Using a 60 watt iron, I allowed the solder blob to stay in place both on the BNC and the surrounding surface. After a while, it seemed like the solder started sticking. Took about 5 min though and I believe the plastic inside of these is Teflon so no melting. |
