Absolutely correct. Resistance soldering is how I make up radio
PL-259 male plugs


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.

Good indeed! Takes too long for my sort of work though.
Ill hit the shell with a thin bit in a Dremel tool and then solder it
up. Yours is very professional.
