Abstract
Gold plated components are frequently required to be assembled by soft soldering, and it is important that the joints should be sound. This article reviews the factors influencing the mechanical properties of tin-lead soldered joints between gold surfaces and describes practical methods for ensuring their reliability in quantity production.
