Hi, Technetters,
Does anyone out there know that whether the silver palladium plating is suitable
for making connection using solder material? If not what material should be used
to make connection to PWB? What is the advantage and disadvantage of using this
kind of plating? The technical literature of Vishay Vitramon states that those
components using silver palladium as terminal plating cannot use solder or
solder paste as connection method, but should use conductive epoxy. But I think
using solder paste with 2% silver should be safe enough for connection, any
comment on this?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Regards,
