Dear Technetters ; One customer inquired me of platinum plating for their PCBs. I couldn't give him any information about this. Why do they insist of that plating is tarnish of J-lead in case of Tin plating. Gold plating is also refrained because of weak plating strength. Could any one give me information regarding this or the place of which I can do this. I do not know this kind of plating is possilble in Korea. Thanks in advance.
