I'd like to make an input for my blaupunkt deck. I found these connectors but am not really clear on how to solder them. From this pick, it looks like the cup side is already filled with solder or is super shallow. Anyone have experience with these?

To make matters worse. The plugs that I have (purchased from vetco, same as this pic) actually don't appear to have the shallow cups. In the store (without my glasses) it looked like they were just pins with no accommodation for soldering. Are they likely just filled to the brim w/ solder?

YouTube is usually the DIY best friend, but surprisingly it doesn't seem to have anything about soldering these up. Anyone here more experienced with these?

thanks

Easiest way to solder this is to use a table clamp to firmly hold the connector in place. Fill the cups with solder. Strip and tin the wires to be soldered. Then heat the cups until the solder melts and insert the tinned wire. EZ-PZ.

Nailed it. I used to use these extensively for instrumentation / measurement equipment in the auto industry. Very easy to use.
