I have been told by a customer that various folks are putting 1-3 micro
inches of solft gold directly over copper on PCBs in place of solder for
thru-hole applications.  Has anyone out there been trying this successfully?
What about oxidation issues,  leeching of gold into the wave solder pot,
using no-clean flux with oxidized leads, etc???  Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks, Bill
