Hello,

Thanks for the information.
However, i still can't find the information for pin contact material for IC chips like Nikel and gold. which is better? Gold? What is the usage for?
And the concern for solderability, oxidization , thermal and mechanical reliabilty for IC chips?
I can't find all these information on the website.
Pls anyone out there can advise me on that.
