Here is my problem. One of them anyway. We have an assembly with a stainless
steel pin that has a flex soldered to the end. Currently the pin is nickel
plated. Due to some problem which has not been explained to me very clearly, it
has been proposed to eliminate the nickel plate. My problem is obvious. How do I
solder a little flex to the end of this stainless steel pin? This is a high
dollar, high reliability assembly. ( Navy pilot wants this to work ) Any
suggestions or advice are welcome. It may be posssible to have the pin plated
only on the area that gets soldered but I am looking at the worst case because I
have been around long enough to know that somebody who does not have to deal
with a problem can always make it harder on those who do.
Thanks in advance,
