As evident of these series of tests, multiple rounds of reflow do not appear to negatively impact the bondability of the gold plating. However, while the reflow process does not seem to affect the surface condition of the gold, the gold thickness should be kept to a minimum (1.2 ± 4σ µin per IPC-4556) if better bondability is desired.
