plating type
palladium nickel plating
Palladium-Nickel (PdNi) alloy deposits provide not only an alternative to gold plating on connectors and circuit boards, but can also serve as a performance enhancement when used in combination with gold. When Palladium-Nickel is used as an underplate to the gold plating, a thinner gold “Flash
