Gold plating ?

Post by exxos »

I can get these boards goldplated for about £2 extra per board...

Do people prefer that or just stick with the normal tin plating ?

I vote for gold, but it's not a strong preference.

Soldering the remaining SMT parts, allegedly, should be easier with goldplating as well..

Can't go wrong with gold plated (unless it's gold coloured plastic from China :lol: )
