90 Knoop. Q2: Thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2: This looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. [IPC-4552 ENIG specification: * Gold thickness of 0.075 - 0.125

As we mentioned in an earlier response in this thread [Q5], you do NOT want to solder to hard gold. Hard gold is a wear surface. [That's IT, that's the LIST.] If you want to solder to gold, then either use: * IPC-4552 ENIG specification, mentioned

I have always heard to use solder with 2 percent silver to reduce gold embrittlment. One vendor site said this is a myth. Does anyone know of a specific document recommending this such as IPC or MIL spec. ???
IPC is the trade association for the printed wiring board and electronics assembly industries.
