I am having a difficult time obtaining information from a couple of manufacturers concerning their lead plating composition and thickness. The reason I am asking in the first place is that we are trying to resolve some processing issues and this information is critical in our analysis. If anyone has some info, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. The products are: 1. Altera 240 PQFP 2.
