Good morning TechNetters (at least here on the left coast),

We have a small assembly that requires a couple of pads to be gold plated. We would like to gold plate the entire board but we're concerned about gold embrittlement when we solder the components in. The board is completely through hole and will be both wave soldered and hand soldered.

Do you think we have any concerns? Oh by the way this is a class 3 assembly.

Thanks,

KennyB
