Is there a standard for the plating thickness of the ENIG surface
finish?  I've searched the archives and didn't find anything.  Based on
a customer request we had increased the requirement for the electroless
nickel to 200u inches. A couple of our board vendors are telling me that
that is excessive and that anything over 100u inches is overkill. I've
seen references in the archives for anything from 120u inches to 200u
inches.  What (if anything) is considered standard for this finish?

Thanks for your inputs.
