It is an RoHS world, John. What do you think we use?

It ain't HASL over Copper or SMOBC, I'll tell ya.

Can't imagine.

You said that "we do not use copper boards any more." So what are the
traces made out of?

What does RoHS have to do with Copper, AlwaysWrong?

IOW, you don't know.

The only place copper is plated is in the holes. The 1 oz copper layer for
traces is a copper sheet that is laminated to the board. It's rolled out to
the proper 1.4 mil thickness when it's manufactured. It's not plated on by
the PCB manufacturer.

You may be making measurement errors when you measure the traces, 1 amp can
be a lot of current on small traces and you may be heating that trace up
quite a bit. Copper has a substantial thermal coefficient of resistance,
heat it up by 25C and the resistance goes up 10%. Try dropping your current
to 0.1A and see how your measurements change.

The field is called "intermetallics". I wouldn't expect a ditz like
you to get it, always-fucked-in-the-head.

You wouldn't know what I know. You never will. You are pathetic,
