Folks, does anyone out there have any info on the plus and minus of using nickel flash vice copper flash on a gold-plated brass standoff terminal. We had an OEM that experienced "black nickel" which caused soldering problems. To solve the problem, the OEM will switch to copper flash. From what I am able to determine, the only real difference is that using nickel allows thinner top coating of gold, which means a less costly process.
From a reliability standpoint, it appears that either copper or nickel flash over a brass standoff terminal should be acceptable. Any comments
