I have been struggling to solder tinned stranded wire to gold-plated pin headers. The solder doesn't seem to adhere to the pins.
I have tried lightly abrading the pin surface and cleaning with Isopropanol, applying liquid flux, increasing the iron tip temperature to 400°C!
Eventually, the wire attaches using the high temperature however, sometimes not very well. The pins also melt the plastic support material and come loose.
These are the pin headers:
Any suggestions?
You get more accureate ideas from others soon. I would suggeset wild idea of simply buying combined tin/Gold plated pinheaders instead. This idea of course do not work with other goold plated part like pogo pins which also need to be soldered from time to time.
This one is TSW-108-07-L-S but many cheaper exists.
