Hey everyone, While we are on the topic of gold and tin/lead connectors, I though I might ask a question that has been troubling me for some time. Can standard Sn/Pb press pin connectors be used in conjunction with Copper/Nickel/Immersion Gold finish boards? Is anyone out there doing this? What are the risks? What can be done to alleviate these risks? I would be grateful to anybody who could provide me with, or point me in the direction of white papers on the subject. I am curious to see what kind of stuff you guys can dig up..............Paul Brown ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
