Genny,
Getting a little past my expertise. I can tell you it is not in Werner's
white paper, at least not in the version I have.  This may also be
different dimensions for different chemistries and/or supplier
equipment.  You should check with your supplier.

Subject: RE: [TN] OSP w selective gold

Thank you.  That is the reason why we need selective gold - for a
conductive contact surface. 
Bev, where can I find info on the keep-out distance?
Or is this also in Werner's paper, so I can build my case a little
stronger for the company to buy this paper?  :-)
Thanks.

Phil,
If you do not put in the nickel layer in a traditional ENIG finish, what
is to keep the copper and gold from diffusing together and giving you a
surface that does not solder?  

We use it for surfaces that are soldered.

Genny,
There are keep out distances between the OSP and the gold known to your
board manufacturer that you must be cognizant of.

Is it true that eliminating the nickel step affects the wetting
properties, and therefore selective gold is only used as a
non-solderable conductive

contact surface?
