Factors for My problem; soldering station set for ~ 700°, solder is .031 rosin core 60/40, USB cord has mini b plug and that seems obsolete any more, so, I bought 10 USB micro plugs and as I was trying to make the connection to the terminals, they would disappear down into the plastic. I was usually successful in making the connection, but the insulation on most USB cords seems to melt at soldering temp, as does the plastic around the terminals, so I thought solder paste or liquid solder would be a good idea. Don't think so, the solder pastes I found, Digikey, needed refrigeration and 20 minute to warm up. I'm not that patient! and 6 month shelf life from manufacture date, Glue needs to cure overnight, I hate staying up all night holding the wire in place. maybe I need some low temp solder.
Any one have some good suggestions?
Thanks, Jeff
