I'm new on the forum so forgive this question but: Is anyone experiencing problems with palladium plated IC leads. My previous experience a couple of years ago was that decent reflow using standard profiles (max T 215-220C) resulted in poor quality soldering of the offending ICs. I am now faced with a choice of using such parts again and am somewhat nervous. Martin Kennett, Design Engineer, SED Systems INC, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, CANADA, Ph(306) 931 3425 [log in to unmask]
