Re: Soldering to gold plated terminals
One job I was given as an apprentice at Marconi's was to de-gold gold plated contact pins, though now I wonder if it was de-golding as gold has a melting temperature of over a thousand degrees C. The reason for de-golding was because the gold made any soldering go brittle. Maybe I was just pre-tinning on top of the gold.
