ANSI/J-STD-001 basically says that gold plated through hole and surface
mount components need to be cleaned by solder dipping or wave.

My question is, are there any guide lines for soldering wires to gold
plated pierced or perforated terminals (plating thickness is unknown).
These are typically very small (thin) and there is a wire going through the
hole that doubles back on its self. This is soldered with a goodly amount
of solder.

Any problem?
