FROM: BRUCE HOUGHTON 27/552/844/TOR *** Resending note of 05/11/95 11:12 Phone (416) 448-5701 Tie 778-5701 Subject: Tin/lead plating vs HAL Doug, Tin/lead plated (and reflowed) tabs over nickel will give a very consistent and controlled thickness of solder over the tabs. HASL is difficult to control for both thickness and uniformity. Tin/lead plate and reflow tabs may cost a little more. Bruce Houghton Celestica, Inc
