Soldering Iron for Computer Cables
Sigh.
Can anyone recommend a soldering iron that, er, works. I have a small customer computer cable that I need to solder to an RS232 DE-9. (i.e. 4 small wires onto a mounting block.) I've got a Antex 16-18w iron that I got from Maplin a couple of years back, but rarely used. It doesn't even melt the flippin solder when I try to tin the tip. So, any recommendations for a decent iron? |
