Technetters,

I am currently having problems soldering a switch to A PCB.  I have
asked the manufacturer what the switch terminals are made of and he has
come back with the following:

One lead is CuZn37 (Brass) plated with 12 microns of electrolytic gold.

Whilst the other lead is the same base with 2 microns of hard bright
silver argilion passivation and 2 microns gold.

Can anyone tell me the implications of wave soldering this to a PCB?
