Got it Fred. What about disassembling the connector? Mark

connectors have voltage losses. You need a good solder connection to eliminate
the problem of connections oxidizing and increasing resistance which cause a
voltage loss and heating the connection which also increases the resistance and
voltage loss. That is why you find melted connectors.
