Hi Scott - Tyco Electronics has completed some studies on surface finishes and compliant pins which may be of interest in your investigations/testing. The web link is http://www.tycoelectronics.com/environment/leadfree/techdata.stm . Good Luck.

My under standing is that not all immersion silver is created equal at all the board shops. The board I was going to try it on also uses compliant connectors. I read an article that said, immersion silver could be a problem if you use compliant connectors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
