Dave,
you were very close to the truth! We have experienced exactly what you
mention. Had to skip whole lot of parts, because they were only partly
solderable. I'll send a pic offline to you. The zincificaion
brotherhood..

The manufacturers of these tiny things do not seem to take nickel so
serious as you and I, because many of them just specify tin over brass.

I like both english breakfast and american. I must admit, that I was
little bit in doubt about the US early meal appropriateness first time I
sat down beside a guy in a typical tramlike bar in Syracuse. Time was
about half past six in the morning, I was still halfsleeping, and that
guy was digging in  a huge stack of pancakes. He drowned the pancakes in
syrup and down they went. Then he ordered another stack and ended up
with donuts and Coke. Now I make them myself, but use strong english
coffee instead of Coke. Dual influence, so as to say.

Ingemar

Hi Ingemar! Don't forget that if you don't use a barrier metal between
the
solder joint and the brass pin you have a chance of the solder joint
integrity being questionable due to "zincification". Zinc from the brass
can potentially diffusion into the solder joint causing problems. Either
a
nickel or a copper barrier plating of the brass pin will eliminate the
phenomena.

Oh, an alternative American breakfast would be Diet Coke and a Snickers
or
Doug's Mt. Dew and a bagel. Remember I said alternative, not healthy!

Morning all, what about a simple q while melting first meal of the day?
(US:donuts and coffee ; UK:scrambled eggs, black pudding, sausage,
marmelade, plums,juice, milk, scones, bacon, coffee, cheese, tomatoes,
etc)

Solder tags, pin, eyelets for printed boards, pressfit. We have found
large
variations in tin thickness from various manufacturers. Checked about 20
known makers, and none specified exactly what plating they had. Just
'tinned brass' or 'special high quality tin process' or 'solderable
plating' etc. Too thin tin will make the pins less solderable after some
months, while exaggerated thickness will cost some extra and cause
tolerance problems. So, gentlemen, what do you prefer for  a Veroboard
pin
or a backplane ditto? I've proposed minimum 10 microns over nickel if
the
pins are brass. Or minimum 25 microns of tin without nickel barrier.
Does
this sound reasonable?
