In the middle nineties Bruce Horton chaired an IPC investigation into the performance of several metallic solderability finishes including the ones you mentioned. I imagine you could purchase a copy through the IPC bookstore.

  Subject: [LF] PWB (Board) finishes: Pal


  Hi IPC LF Listservers,

  In an article I recently gave a link for, there was a section on Board
  (PWB) finishes for Lead-free.

  I have never heard of Palladium or Palladium over Nickel as a board finish.
  I do know about Palladium used in component lead, and lead frame finishes
  so I think it was an author mistake.

  SO - - -, Does anyone know of Palladium or Palladium over Nickel as a board
  finish??


  Yours in Engineering, Dave

  P.S. Yes I have written the magazine editor, yet I also wanted to ask here.
