Subject: Ni/Au and Press-Pin!                             12/9/97   3:57 PM

Hello TechNetters!

Has anyone investigated/tested the reliability and risks associated with the
use of Tin/Lead compliant press-pins in Gold inserts (Nickel/Gold board
finish)?
I know Amp has never looked into this and neither has Berg.
Any information or lead would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
