Chris, I am confused by your question. Connector pins are either soldered or
swaged if you are talking about the wire attachment end of the pin.  Swaging
then soldering on connector pins or visversa can be a disaster. Where do the
pads come into play?
Unless you can tolerate a good bit of loss at the freqs. you are talking
about, make sure that you have a solid connection. Remember that RF currents
travel on the surface of the conductors.

                I need some advice about swaging connector pins.  After they
are swaged, is
                soldering still neccessary or will clamping down on the pad
make an
                acceptable solder joint?  The circuits they will be in are
in the 450MHz -
                1GHz range.

                Thanks For your help.

                Chris
