Does anyone have any experience with fired-silver/platinum/palladium lead terminations soldering. I have had issues on nickel over gold plated boards but not with HASL'd boards with tin/lead pads. Is this the norm?

This is an old topic, but keeps coming up. Solderability and reliability issues with SMT gold plated terminations when used with tin/lead solder paste/hassle finish PWB. I need to know which standard (mil, IPC, J-STD??) tells you all about the probl

Right now we are taping the goldfingers which is effective but also expensive. Also, some tape was leaving yellow marks on the goldfingers. We're trying the so-called goldfinger glove from Steven's Products. It's a very small company (probably one gu
