Hi Brent! You should be able to solder to brass - check with you flux supplier
to get their recommendations. The flux you are using may not have enough
activation to breakdown the oxides on the brass surface. On word of caution -
brass (copper and zinc alloy) can undergo 'dezincification' if there is no
barrier plating between the brass and your solder joint. In some use
environments this becomes a latent defect. Good Luck.

Subject:  [TN] brass pins



Has anyone ever tried to flow solder brass pins before? We are attempting to do
this and not having much luck. If anyone has done this before and has some
suggestions that might help I would appreciate it

thanks
