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.
