It would be similar to one formed on ENIG. ANYTHING CAN BE MEASURED. Vladimir Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Rogers network.

Jeffrey, Pd also dissolves into the joint, and again you are forming an intermetallic with the nickel.

Hi All, Quick question, with an ENIG finish, I know the gold dissolves into the joint and we solder to the Ni. But what about ENEPIG? I'm assuming the Au will dissolve, but what happen with the Pd? Does it stay put or also dissolve into the joint? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, -Jeffrey Jeffrey A.
