What metal would Pin Terminals be made of? by Mad-Monkey


Mad-Monkey
As above, particularly on the VIS (Variable Intake System) motor?

What would be a suitable material? Obviously copper, but is there any alloys that are cheap?

Plated brass is common. Usually plated with tin. However tin plated steel is also quite common but obviously rusts if wet. You have to be careful the plating doesn't react with the solder and make the joint go bad.
