Steve, The 4 things I would do, and in this order: 1. Clean your stencil with stencil cleaner wipes after it comes out of the stencil cleaner. I like MicroCare ProClean (MCC-PROWR). I will even saturate the wipe with a bit of isopropal just till

Thanks Ken for your reply. Concerning OSP, there are a few negative points that I must considered for our application. I've read all the following points in an Entek document. Never test it. - If you have a miss print and you clean the PCB, the co

Neither the Omega meter nor the IC are officially "destructive" tests, but everywhere I worked we treated them that way. The boards were scrapped after the test. The Omega meter can be tested at elevated temps, but the IC sample is extracted at ele

Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad

Mr. Wizard is not currently available. You get the wizzer. Maybe your dream date will show later. Get your own lab tests done. Show your potential customer that your boards are clean. That�s the issue. The issue is not how you go about cleaning

We are converting all our ENIG to imm silver. CHARACTERISTICS * Nominal thickness of the deposit will be 0.1 to 0.3 microns. * Deposit is flat and uniform * It will withstand multiple heat cycles in assembly, which can be problematic with tradition

Jason: How did you determine that the deposits are tin oxide? What does this stuff look like? Klein Wassink "Soldering in Electronics" (p. 221, quoting original work by others). States (in effect) tin (or solder) quickly forms a protective oxide
