Well speaking from experience regarding soldering to the plating. You can most definitely solder to the plating. <br /> <br /> I used to work for Cooper Bussmann. I.E. Buss fuses. And All of thier fuses are copper with a thin silver plate and then soldered together. The silver is for better electrical conductivity and to also reduce the corrosion of the electrical contact. <br /> <br /> On A Side note regarding the bussmann fuses. I bet I have a piece of Railroad memorabilia that not many people have. One of the production lines I worked on made fuses for EMD. Big honkin fuses for the diesel electric generators on Locomotives. I managed to talk my boss into letting me take home one of the unpolished fuses as a keepsake.
