Re: MOTM PCB Power Connectors

2002-11-27 by phaeton777

I strip the wires back about 1/4", insert them lightly into the 
blades and then solder them into place. With a very pointy soldering 
tip at 800 degrees it works quite well. After they're soldered I 
squeeze some GE Silicone onto the top and snap the cover on. I've 
been making them this way for years with no problems.

Good Luck,

Richard.
