We are looking for information from anyone with experience using 
     silver loaded conductive epoxy to mount solder terminated chip 
     capacitors.  Does it work?  Any pitfalls?  Lessons learned?
     
     We are having difficulty obtaining chip caps of the quality level we 
     want with gold terminations.  These chips caps will be mounted in a 
     hybrid which is intended for space flight use.  The hybrid 
     manufacturer intends to silver epoxy mount these parts and we are not 
     sure what our best option is.  
     
     Any information you may have is greatly appreciated.
     
     Sincerely,
