As an OEM repiar tech I would run into "Black Pad" on occasion, though mostly on surface mount pads. The only way I could remove the oxidation was to apply water soluble flux and add solder, then wick away the excess. This left me with a suitable s

On a previous black pad experience we soldered a wire to a fiducial and did a pull test to failure. On the black pad board the wire and solder pulled of clean leaving the fiducial on the board. On good boards the copper came off with the wire. If you

analysis report is as attached. Pls let me know what you think of the root cause of this issue? Can i conclude this is a black pad at thru hole ring with a root cause of contaminated gold

Looks like "black pad" issue. More about this here: http://www.ipc.org/feature-article.aspx?aid=Black-pad Definitly PCB supplier need to improve the process.

i also notice the carbon and oxygen is high on the defect? Why is that?

As my fellow members are saying this is a bad mfg process, you need to talk to your supplier to see if theres something contaminating the ENIG plating, this is a very critical issue you must act on it before some problems arise in the field where can

From the pic, it looks like you have a bad board; ENIG process issue. It used to be called black pad for SMT but I'm sure it's the same condition for T/H. Any good electronic lab should be able to id the black stuff. I would also send raw boards bac

I'd guess that "black pad" is not the issue that you need to address, because only 2 of your 5 test points has the problem that we seem to be discussing. I'd expect "black pad" problems to be more wide spread. Something is going on at those two locat

Hi all, I think Hot Tear or Shrink Hole defect is common in LEAD FREE wave soldering, especially those solder is from SAC type. As far as I know, it is related to cooling rate. Is there anyone know how to solve or reduce this defect at wave solder
