  One of the tricks to NOT melting the connector is to turn your iron temperature up high. That way you can heat and solder the connection quickly and get off of it instead of continuing to heat everything up. A friend of mine used to repair telephones all day long and he said that he kept his iron at 900d F. Get a junk part and experiment with it.
