Good question. I would also like to know how it compares to Gold Immersion. I've gone all gold on all of my current PCBs as a means to improve overall general quality. (eg: http://pages.infinit.net/helloftp/bd2.jpg A-LA-CARTE AV headend scalar & switcher PCBs.) Is silver any better, or cheaper? _____________ Brian Guralnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brooks,Bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Protel EDA Forum'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 4:16 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Trace Width Charts > > I have just attended a meeting of the IPC Designers Council where the > subject of finishes for PCB's came up and it was revealed that Silver > Immersion seems to have great benefits for assembly, shelf life, > solderability, rework, etc... > > Can anyone give me their experiences with the process and its benefits and > down sides?
