Hi
I have come across a sample of brass pins (electroplated with Nickel to  2.5 
microns and then a Tin/Lead 60/40 5 micron plating) have a green 
contamination at the ends and where they are inserted into a component.
Can anyone remember from their Chemistry whether this green contamination is 
a Copper Oxide/Sulphide or a Nickel based salt?

Is it ok to wash with IPA and replate the pins?

Thanks in advance.
