Electrochemistry seperate socket & pins? Remove excess metal?

[lawsonland]

separate socket & pins?
I did a search but did not find anything.

Would it be best to have sockets & pins (from D shell connectors) kept separated when doing a cell?

How about magnetic and non-magnetic pins/sockets, separate them into separate batches?

Run them in separate batches or not really necessary?

I don't have a cell yet but building up material for it.

Thanks

Hi,
The pins below have small pieces of metal for locking the pins in place. is it necessary to remove them before putting in the cell?
Would the gold still be removed from under them if they were not removed?

Thanks

lawsonland,
When asking several questions on one topic can you keep them in one thread, this will save forum space, and keep all of the answers in one spot.

Sorry, I thought they should have been seperate
But the first question was about different pins/sockets. I should have put a picture for them
They are much smaller and wasn't sure if pins & sockets should be mixed.

The second question was for these bigger ones with these metal clips. Here is a picture for both questions

The gold underneath the stainless probably will not strip.Try 2 or 3 pieces, but I doubt if it will. If it does, it will probably take a long time. Both type pins can be run together.

Thank you,

I'll just take the metal off, can do it sitting watching TV. Least I'll be doing something useful

I've watched about every "B" horror movie you can imagine stripping this n that.
Passes the time while yelling at the kiddos...
