[QUOTE="Rickster, post: 408868, member: 2089"] bin is already updated. also added a link to the pinned thread on the subject. Excellent job DailyCommuter! From the photo's, discussion, and my experience, I would lean toward ionbeam's thought that this is a cold solder joint. From the pictures, the connection is not a through hole connection, and the solder break looks clean on the switch side. Without some fine focus x-rays of the assembly, my conclusion is that either: (an assumption is that the switch terminals are copper, based on the 2 unused terminals in the photo) (1) manufacturing process is not allowing both components (the wire and the terminal) to become hot enough for the solder to flow on the terminal connection, (2) the terminal has not been properly cleaned (or has aged in a non N2 purged storage) allowing some corrosion to form on the terminal post. I would recommend that if you have a problem, that you re-flow solder on ALL of the connections, not just the one that broke. (from dcarver's observation that his failure was identical, but on a different wire) [/QUOTE]
