-- [ From: Jim Zanolli * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solder thru-hole connectors
without the extra step of wave soldering? In many cases a sufficient
volume of solder cannot be achieved by applying solder paste to the
hole. 

In another case the connector has long .485" .025 square tails that
must have  gold plating to allow mating to another connector after
soldered to PCB -- and therefore cannot even be wave soldered. Are
there any alternatives to laborious hand soldering or solder donuts?

Does the term "intrusive reflow" define the soldering of thru-hole
leads by paste in the hole and reflow?
