If this is for a final gold plating then we typically call out 50 to 150 micro inches for electroless nickel and then 3 to 8 micro inches of immersion gold.

As we do not do manufacturing at this site, I have no technical data sheets handy - so I need to ask a quick and easy question! (I haven't found the answer on supplier's websites and have a couple calls into suppliers, but you know how long that can take to get feedback - just kidding guys, I know everyone is busy these days) My question is: What is the typical electroless nickel deposition thickness? I'm thinking it's around 3-5 microns. Is that correct? What range is given on the technical literature from suppliers, if any of you guys has a tech data sheet handy? Thank you for your help!
