> Yes, fretting corrosion is a problem with gold-tin/lead contacts.,
> especially if mechanical vibrations are present. Fretting corrosion

> with vibration, allowing the newly exposed tin to form
> more oxide. The broken oxide layers that build up degrades
> the contact. The presence of a gold-tin/lead couple exacerbates
> the problem, so that gold/tin-lead is much worse than tin-lead/
> tin-lead. This problem was discussed on Tech Net before.
