Hi. I have these plugs:
**broken link removed**
Which I wanted to make into simple patch cables, one plug to another. But when I tried to solder the cables to the plug, I found that the solder just wouldn't take to it. I have lead free and normal 40/60, niether of which work well at all, the lead free can be picked off :shock: . I have found this with things in the past, anything thats not coppery seems a pain to solder. Anyone have any tips? I have 20 of these plugs, so I really need to find a fix!
