Some (most?) of the manuals for equipment that contains those strips have a section that shows the proper way to solder those.

Randy,
Just a side note.
I don¡¯t know if you are aware of a soldering issue involved with those terminal
strips. The silver plating is very fragile and use of standard solder will
leach the silver out of the strip resulting in little or no possibility of use.
This is often stated in the Tek manuals for equipment utilizing these strips.
Those little rolls of solder Tek included inside each product is a ¡°silver
bearing¡± solder to be used when repairing the unit. Since it contains less
silver than normal ¡°silver¡± solder it will melt at a much lower point.
