I'm sorry for not being clear. The "1 thou" refers to the thickness of copper that rides below your ENIG. If your HIC card is blue that's good. If it's some other color that makes you nervous, then you make of it what you will. They're pretty muc

Ah yes Mechanical Engineers. My previous company hired one Fresh out of College. Ink was still wet on his B.S. degree when he entered the shop. I passed by his desk. He had a CAD drawing on the monitor which he was feverously working on. It showe
