Right.
And I'll sell you the kit for only $1,200. For only $5,000 extra, I'll throw in a money-back guarantee for the entire $1,200...
That's in the HF kit
P.S: The nasty thoughts come up because the companies try to sucker all of us with those ideas, even when we _know_ better.
Jewelcome.
One large pin carried the full current. I needed a 100W iron to solder it.

I have one of these in the back of my 4x4 and a couple installed in my boat for accessories . I also have anderson plugs uder the tray of my
4x4 to run a heavy duty air compressor.
If you just used the two posts with no tip, you were doing resistance soldering. Inductance heating requires a loop to couple the power into the load. Like Diathermy machines.
I use a 175 watt Weller soldering iron for PL-259 plugs. I pre-tin the braid, then use a small tubing cutter to trim the excess. I then drill the chrome plating out of the four holes in the shell, then solder them together. As always, the threaded ring goes on first since you can't unsolder my method without burning the insulation. :)
I bow to your deeper knowledge, MikeySan. I thought the magnetic field was doing the work, but see that it was the connection of the two posts which completed the circuit for resistance soldering. In any case, it sure as hell beat the time of the soldering tip! 'Twas quick and very efficient.
