Zitat:Werner added, that normal soldering shouldn't work because of high temperature inside the plug (your dryer gets quite hot I guess). I cannot confirm this, mine works. I soldered mine just like any other device. But, plugs with screw-on cable are much more common indeed.Do never solder plugs with currents above... 50 Volts, I think? The current can heat and melt the soldering agent, increasing the resistance even further and thus flash and burn down your home quite easily - while the fire insurance will have fits laughing. This is one of the reasons why the law states that only experts are allowed to tamper with such things. When I read "soldering", the hair on the back of my neck stood straight up. <img src='http://forum.fotoimpex.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
And a "Kaltger?estecker" is a "Buisness Machine Connector" in english - but you need the other kind, it seems.
