John,
There is an easy way to be sure you don't move the pins while soldering
the DIN connectors with soft plastic bodies. Get a matching chassis jack
and plug in the connectors part way while you are soldering. This will
keep the pins aligned and not let them move. Use a small tip and the fine
soldering techniques mentioned by others here today :-)
