Blondie I've never heard of using palladium [Pd] for a ring. [Not that that means much.] See, here's a link to discussion on using Pd in jewlery: http://jewelry.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.professionaljeweler.com%2Farchi

john, Immerson Silver is probably a good choice. What is your opinion abt Palladium silver. Does presence of Palladium affect the reliability of the pcb surface finish

No suggestions, but we've also had problems with silver palladium. No wetting on reflow, when we tried handsoldering them, we could actually scrape off the whole finish and were left with a black unsolderable underground. It was just 1 reel, seems

hi All, i have recently running a Ceramic board with silver/palladium surface finish, using Alpha Metal 63/37 WS solder paste, soldering meet IPC standard after reflow, however, the solder joint look grainy, not sure if there could be too much interm

We are seeing problems with platinum over silver plated part also. Our main problem is solder splatter under these devices, and voiding at the terminations on parts off the reels.I am curious if you have removed any of these parts and noticed any spl

Barry, We do not see much in the way of solder splatter or solder balling. We have removed some parts but in the process of doing so we remove any useful evidence really. Quite a lot of the solderable portion of the part is on the underside. Like
