You bet our reponse changes. Q2R: Hard gold thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2R: This is a hard gold spec?? It looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. The gol

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

Hi Nicoleta, As a board shop, either are good choices but in my experience with my customers ENIG has alway been the favorite due to it is easier to work with in regards to not having to tweak your equipment. As long as the board shop that you are u

Flash gold is just thin gold plating over electroless nickel or electrolytic nickel. Flash gold is electrolytic gold where the panel is connected to a plating rectifier and current causes the plating process to occur. Gold thickness is controlled b
