Subject: goldfinish on PC boards
Wolfgang;
I don't have any specific reports I can point you to, but,
it is well known that if the content of Au in a solder joint
excedes about 4%, the intermetallics formed are brittle
and susceptable to failure. Typically 3-5 microinches
of Au is used. 30 microinches is probably way too thick for
SMT, might be acceptable in some wave applications.
