Other than getting a good clean shiny solder joint between pin and coax core is there any specific quantity of solder that should be used ? (I of course always do a continuity test with a multi-meter afterwards) Back in the day someone said don't use more solder than you need to .. i.e. don't flow the solder so it overfills the pin tube.
Is there some rule of the ideal... i.e. just solder the very tip of the copper core to the tip of the pin ?
Ultimately my main concern is I just don't want lossy terminations. I have some "posh" coax and plugs coming, extremely low loss coax and plan to make 1 patch lead and a longer run of it so want to make the best of the soldering. Luckily I still have some lead solder which makes life easier.
Or is it a case of it looks good and continuity tests, it is good !
