You might try plugging the them into a socket before you solder them, it
helps sink the heat away and keep them aligned.

The din connectors I got were pretty cheap, kind of hard to work with-- it
was really easy to melt them when you are trying to solder wires in. You
can't really find any good ones out there though, so I would just order a
few extras in case you melt one or two.
Besides the products being what you probably already expect being Chinese,
they are a pretty decent company, and I will order from them again. I don't
remember if the dins were xtar, but at the time I got them, the ones I got
were the only din connectors for whatever pins # I needed (for an ft-897 and
ft-857, I can't recall how many pin those are, but they were mini-din. I
would imagine full size din would be no problem whatsoever.)
