Subject: Gold/Tin Darrell Daigle posted a request for info on the effect of solder on a gold-plated finger that is to be inserted in a gold socket. [Body deleted] Where the operating environment can lead to corrosion for any of these reasons, the corrective action is to remove the solder and replate the gold. ---------- I did not know it was possible to remove solder and replate gold... There has been a couple of emergency situations when we would have like to have this capability, be it for PCB's or components, or other... Can someone provide specifics? *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
