Hello Technet,

I heard that galvanic corrosion will occur on the contact area between
gold and aluminium. Is this really a problem ? also when the gold is
only 0.05 micron thick, with nickel underneath ?
I'm talking here about a printed circuit board with 0.05 micron gold
plating over nickel, where certain features make contact with an
aluminium housing.
