At Shipley Ronal we beleive that this surface finish is very capable and will
give you all you need.
It is an excellent surface for solderabilty provided the Pd is below 12 uins
The soldering will occurr between the solder and the Nickel, both Pd and the
gold will disssipate into the solder joint with no adverse effects.
It is suitable for both aluminum and gold wire binding  the aluminum bonds to
the Ni and the gold would bond to the Palladium..
It is ideal for compression or press fit connectors as well contact switch
surfaces.
