Dennis,

Thanks for your help, but its immersion gold that were using.  Any 
information that you have for this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Kelly



I have specified and used electroless gold platings for mil-std for a 
number
of years. I remember that there were specifications which allowed my
previous employer to waive solder tining requirement if the Au was 
between a
range of thicknesses.  We ended using Au for a number of applications 
where
tinning was impractical.  I don't remember the specification we used. 
 I
still have email access to my old employer and could probably get you 
an
answer in a few days.  I also have the email address for our old DCAS
inspector and he knew the spec # for everything.  If you need any 
soldering
help for Au I have a publication from the international tin institute I
could send you.
Good Luck,
