Hi Aj, Recommended Immersion gold thickness would be 3-5 Micro inches over 140 -200 micro inches of Nickel. Thicker Immersion gold than 5 micro inches can cause solder joint embrittlement. Gold readily dissolves in molten solder and will be present

Hi Dave, Yes that is correct. I had a XRF carried out on some boards that I am having solderability issues on and the report came back with 0.04um - 0.05um as the measured gold thickness. Previous batches that went through fine measured 0.07-0.11u
