Here is a useful link for certain TI calculators:

"I have some success with this sort of connection, grab a piece of TO-220 heatsink pad, turn your soldering iron down to about 280C (550F). Put the pad at a start point on the flex connector, side of iron tip nearly parallel to boards on pad, and drag the pad along the connect flex keeping the iron in contact. Doesn’t need much pressure. This can take 15 to 20 passes, it takes a while for the whole setup to warm up, but you don’t want to over do it."

I mistakenly tried a heat gun, which immediately melted the plastic.
