I would suggest that  the manufacturer's spec be reviewed for this
information (hole size and spacing).  The recommendation to solder or not
solder should be a customer requirement for the assy of the module based on
the number of mates the connector will have in field applications.
Hope it helps.

    Where do I find information regarding hole size, plating thickness
recommedations regarding whether these should subsequently be soldered etc?

    I have looked in 2221 and just can't find anything
