I "suspect" that you "might" have a problem with solderability. How soon
after manufacture of the switch do you assemble and solder into the PCB?
You have a problem with brass pins that have no barrier plating. The zinc
from the brass will cause soldering problems. The silver may slso cause a
problem but I have had no experience with that type of silver. Maybe
someone else on the net has soldered to that plating.
