Abstract :
Base metal pins (usually nickel or copper alloy) plated with gold or other precious metals are found on most printed circuit boards. Usually these pins are formed in some manner after they are inserted into the PC board. The more common metal forming operations are staking, squaring, flattening and bending. It is imperative that damage to the previous metal plating be minimized during secondary forming.
