     Some of our panels are gold plated. We use our normal production paste 
     and/or wave soldering process.
     
     Shiny joints do not imply good reliability relative to dull joints. 
     Look at the microstructure. I have not had any failures attributed to 
     this come back from the field.
     
     The only difficulty I had was with top side fill on the solder 
     machine.

          Does anyone have experience soldering gold-plated SMT components to 
          gold-plated PCB's using a eutectic (Sn63/Pb37) solder? The solder 
          joints exhibit a dull, grainy appearance. Although I know that longer 
          liquidus dwell times and a maximum reflow temperature of 220 C are 
          typically recommended when soldering to gold,  will other solder 
          alloys perform better (i.e,, Indium alloys)?
     
          Thanks in advance,
