The "price" would depend on the source. If your favorite fabricator does
not have an in-house Ag line then ENIG may be cheaper or vice versa. If
they have both then, yes, Ag is likely cheaper.

I am hearing a lot of discussion about reliability and compatibility. From
the sounds of it, it seems to be a wash. If that is the case, from a
commodity perspective, I would think you would get a cheaper price for
silver, so if shelf life is not an issue, why not go with that?

Subject: [TN] Immerison Au vs Immersion Ag
We are having a little talk about surface finish for RoHS compliance.
We have been doing Immersion Gold for 10+ years and are starting to switch
to Immersion Silver because some feel that Silver is a better finish for
RoHS compliance.
I can't find anything that says one can not be compliant with Immersion Gold
and I'm trying to figure out why the surface finish should change at all.
Could someone point to some articles, opinions or sources that might help
resolve the issue?
I'm out doing some web looking now.
Thanks
Dave
