As part of our conversion to lead-free, I'm redesigning a pcb that had switch contact patterns screened on the board using carbon ink. On the new board, I plan on using the ENIG process and having the switch contacts be patterns of copper with the n

That uis correct if your wanting solderable gold it should be 10-17uinches, but for coantact suchas as switches and card edge 30 is used

I am a contract Mfgr. and we receive these designs quite frequently. ENIG is the finish and the designs do utilize pushbutton switches from membranes. I am not provvy to any reliability or performance data but we process alot of these designs. If

I usually Spec out 20- 30 uinches of gold over Nickel (50-80 uinches). If the most conduction is needed use Immersion Silver, about 12-20 uinches). Tom

Thanks guys for your help. Sorry for the pic quality, the device is so small I had to zoom a lot with my phone. The switch is a tactile one, the plastic body is missing, and what you can see in the center is where the contact is made : when the swit

The pictures are kinda fuzzy so its hard to tell of the center pad is electrically connected to anything. If it's not, if its just here for mechanical stability, then you're probably fine. The other thing to make sure of is that both switches are th
