This is the problem, the text is not readable. I may assume a heavy duty 10-20 amp spec silicon type, but it would be nice to know. > As to the soldering: _how_ hot do you expect it > to get in there -- ordinary solder melts at, what, 300C+ ? <g> > But if you do the job, try to use a temperature-controlled iron > (eg Weller) and consider applying heat shunts whilst soldering. > And, of course, use decent multicore solder. (Or am I teaching > granny's grandpa how to suck eggs?) No problem applying some solder, I have all the gear, but the resistor pack obviously gets very hot while operating. This is the reason they fail in the first place.
