Hi Guy!

Have you tried using a 2% Ag solder? I've used it before because I read
somewhere a long time ago that it helps to cut down on leaching of noble
metals.

I was in the same situation as you are when I used it. The part I was
having trouble with wasn't a cap, but a thermistor. The 2% solder seemed
to help quite a bit. 

One thing I learned with those parts, you better be REAL CAREFUL if you
try to touch them up, or hand solder them...the termination will just
disappear!

We are leaching the termination off of a capacitor. Our customer
requires a
non-magnetic component and has specified a component without a nickel
barrier, because of nickel's ferromagnetic properties.
What can we do?
