In former life, whenever we swaged connector pins, we soldered them as
well. This was done partly as extra mechanical support, partly to make a
"proper" chemical electrical contact as opposed to a purely mechanical one,
which can be high resistance, and partly as corrosion protection.

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
