Hi all,

We are currently experiencing solderabillty problems with a surface mount
header. One of the recommendations from an independent test house was that
we specify a gold plated version. My question is; what benefit does gold
offer over tin lead plating? (wrt the solder joints) Our pads are plain old
HASL.

Best regards,

Mark
