Join these before soldering them in place. Join them with what ? A close up picture would be great. Edited by user Friday, April 29, 2016 4:11:56 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

A small piece of heatshrink or a small tie-wrap works. If you join them after soldering*, a dab of Cyanoacrylate glue will work very well. * ( the heat of soldering will break the joint )
