Hi Scott -
I have done some soldering to Platinum with reasonable success. The
key parameter was the type of flux I used - the flux activation system
must be compatible with the platinum finish and the base metal. A good
platinum finish on a bad base metal is a bad thing! Both a RMA and a
low residue formulation (it was a rosin based low residue) worked.
Work with your flux vendor on what they suggest as your starting
point. Good luck.

Can anyone share information regarding production soldering to Platinum
leads?
Lead diameter is 0.0135".
Process to be either wavesolder or hand solder.
Any relevant data appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
