Several large OEMs are using immersion silver and others OSPs. You may want to get some samples of immersion silver made as well.

Best regards

  Subject: [TN] gold vs copper plating on pcb's


  Good Afternoon all,

  Our company will be switching over to lead free and we have received sample pcb's from one of our vendors and one board has gold (ENIG) for the traces and one has copper (OSP). From some of the emails I have seen on Technet it appears that gold is what most of companies are going to be using? Is this correct or is there some other materials we should be looking into to use? Is the gold more reliable than the copper?
  Any input would be greatly appreciated.
