Your fabricator should be able to re-apply the imm tin very easily. Actually, if we had boards like you describe [and we were sure we didn't mess them up], we'd be be making strong implications that our fab would need to make this right. Don't pin

Sorry. I actually should clarify those slides. Black pad is not associated with tented vias. Also, you can tent vias with soldermask, but this requires the immersion gold process to be completed prior to soldermask. As such, all copper features (

I have a SAC305 preform with which I am attempting to bond a gold coated component to an ENIG coated PCB pad. I've specified 2 microinches of gold for the ENIG. It worked previously but now with a new batch of boards, I am having an issue where the p

| Hi folks , | Lately we are seeing a lot of rawcards with black spots on the pads - most of them have Au finish(immersion gold) . We did a lot of inspecton after wave solder and found that only (fine pitch) QFP are affected the most. Our inspection

Hi Doug: Responding to your questions: � If gold over nickel is self limiting ... You didn�t say whether you gold plating was electroless or immersion. Electroless is not is self limiting. It can plate up to 5 thou. Expect immersion plated gold to

| In past PCB designs I have cleared all traces from all layers | (except pwr/gnd) from fiducial area. It has come to my attention that this is only necessary on the side where fud is placed. Which is the correct method of design using a fidicial?

You are correct. The gold dissolves in the solder. The gold is meant to protect the nickel from oxidizing, so that you can solder to the nickel. Obviously that didn�t work as planned. Your background information is very sparse. Two things come
