Re: Strange Multi-Turn Potentiometer Problem
You can also place a 'heat sink' in between the solder joint and the item you want to protect by soldering. I use needle nose pliers with a rubber band around the handle. The steel of the pliers will absorb the excess heat. They should also be using a soldering 'pencil' not a higher wattage gun.
