It will be difficult to make this comparison since I am not aware of anyone offering the Au over silver processes within the PCB universe. My guess is that it would be many times more expensive than ENIG.

  Hello Technet,

  I have got the following tricky question from a friend in Sweden.

  What is the price difference between the following surface finish plating in USA?

  1. Normal Immersion Ni/Au (ENIG) on copper

  Compared with

  2. Immersion Ni/Au on Ag (Silver Paste) on normal Thick Film technique (Hybrids).

  Best Regards
