FROM: BRUCE HOUGHTON 27/552/844/TOR Phone (416) 448-5701 Tie 778-5701 Subject: solubility of gold into solder pot from Ni-Au board Allen, The impact of the gold on the solder pot depends on the % of boards that will be nickel/gold, the thickness of the gold (good luck if you are using 'plated' gold, instead of immersion gold), how often and how well you maintain the solder pot. You will have to increase the frequency of the analysis of the solder pot for gold, until you are know what it is performing. Bruce Houghton Staff Engineer, Celestica, Inc.
