Mornin' All!

Yesterday, I created two case numbers for technical support at Cypress
Semiconductor.
One to find out whether or not the ceramic (or aluminum oxide) part I had
was moisture
sensitive (I haven't heard back from them yet), and the other was to verify
what the gold
plating thickness is on the leads of the part since it wasn't on the data
sheet.

Below is the text pasted from the email exchange that we had:

          Gold Plating Thickness on Leads...                                
                                                               Description: 
                                                                            
                                                                            
          I would like to find out what the gold plating thickness is on    
          the leads for the part number above.                              
          J-STD-001 requires that the gold must be removed by a double-dip  
          tinning process, or by a single                                   
          dip in a dynamic solder bath if the plating is above a certain    
          thickness. I need this information to                             
          determine whether or not I have to remove the gold prior to board 
          assembly.                                                         
                                                                            
                                                                            

                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
 Hi Stephen,                                                                
                                                                            
 Requested part number 5962-9759802QXC is pruned part. Date of pruning is   
 05-may-2005.                                                               
                                                                            
 Please advise if you still need the information although this part is      
 pruned.                                                                    
                                                                            
 Best Regards,
