Hi

We are fitting a swaged turret terminal and soldering using 96% Tin 4%
Silver alloy and have experienced cracks running around the edge of the
swage solder joint - between the pin and the solder. Re-soldering gets rid
of it in most but not all cases. I have thought that perhaps some stress
relaxation is occurring in the swage area (brass base material) during
soldering resulting in these cracks.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem ?

Cheers
