We have a customer who requires tin/tin type sockets as opposed to tin/gold
for all their socketed components. Their reasoning is based on the corrosion
potential from the dissimilar metals. Our problem is that tin/tin sockets
are becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain, and in some cases more
expensive than their gold plated counterparts. My question is: Has anyone
have any information  or done any testing on this subject. We would like to
change their thinking if possible. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
