Default Re: Soldering to gold plated terminals

Exactly as above, gold dissolves in molten solder. Heavily contaminated solder is weak.

But a quickly made joint (and solder will flow very readily) will be fine.

I've soldered many 'D' connectors with gold-plated solder-bucket pins, no problem. Standard 60/40 solder.
