Hello Ricardo - as long as the gold thickness of the thermal plane is thin
enough that you will not have a solder joint gold embrittlement situation
occur then soldering the thermal plane should not be an issue. In fact,
having an as-plated surface rather than a pretinned surface would be
significantly more manufacturing friendly and therefore favored.
