Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has experienced issues with leadfree reflow soldering 
small discrete chips (0805) with silver palladium terminations? According to one 
particular manufacturer (EPCOS) they do not approve it and claim that the 
termination will be "damaged" under leadfree processing temperature. I am 
curious to know the reason behind. Thanks.
