We aren't using it - we are using Immersion Ag. I haven't seen Pd very commonly available from any of the vendors we use, so it would probably be priced at a premium.

No not really. They are inspected with gloves, but all PCB's are in our facility, no matter what the finish. They are stored in the same packaging material that they are shipped in. We haven't been using ImmAg for that long yet, so maybe we will see issues down the road, but so far it has worked well for us.

do you have sulpher papers in the packaging? i thought they had to be stored in a controlled humidity environment. also, if i may ask, what is the mean time between receiving a bare board and reflow?

Thanks in advance, Amol

We use immersion Silver for all of our lead free PCBs. They come in the "silver saver" paper you speak of and we have found that they will tarnish after 7 days in the open enviroment. Even with this tarnish we experienced no reflow problems. We are relatively low humidity and such so these times can be taken with a grain of salt.
