Due to lead free, terminal's plating is brittle and difficult to flare without splitting. First question: Is there a replacement to flared turret terminals? Another technology that leads can be solder to? Second question: Do you know of another source for flared turret terminals besides Cambion. Thanks in advance for all your responses.
