Soldering Nickel Plated Copper

    There's a trick to deal with this type of wires:

    • preheat the join with the iron, usual temperature
    • put solder on the wire, near the landing pad and close to where the iron touches it.
    • let that solder transfer more heat, more efficiently
    • then put solder on the other side of the wire, also close to the pad. The solder sucks itself towards the iron, and that creates a wet join

    This works easiest in a through-hole setting, but the capillary action also works in your setting.
    When the mounting pad is as big as your example, a preheater can help, so that the little poor iron doesn't have to do all that heating by itself.
