A PCB supplier propose paladium plating. The statement is that the
surfacing is as good, if not better, than gold plating (for SMD) without
the need for Nickel plating.
Also manual soldering needs some extra flux because the tip does not get
enough heat contact (surface too flat and hard).

What are the pros and cons of paladium finish on PCB ?
