For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

5uin. Your nickel thickness is fine. Although if you wanted to trade costs, consider giving-up nickel to 150uin thickness, while increasing the gold thickness. Gold over electroless nickel creates brittle joints because of phosphorous in the nicke

Hi, I would not be too concerned about what the shape of your wirebonding fiducial is. Cross, Square, Diamond, Circle, will all work well for you. I use a "+" and a diamond. Your machine magnification will be great, so don't make the fiducials to
