That "C - it doesn�t matter" choice sounds good because it doesn�t give you a headache when profiling but it gives me a headache when I read the article in the current "newsletter" about profiling where I found this: "If soldering to gold over nick

What do you mean by "new information"? On final module testing: * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you detect it during final testing, you'll notice it. * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you don't detect it during final testing, you'll ship

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

Chris: Typical non-wetting causes are: * Poorly controlled soldering process * Incorrect material * Surface contamination * Insufficient preheat * Misapplied solder mask * Shadowing Without intending to insult you, all of the causes of non-w

Try baking your boards first to remove the moisture. Moisture and boards that have not been drilled properly will cause pin hole or blow holes in PTH. Also take a look the surface of the pads before printing. You maybe contaminating the surfaces of t

Hi Dave, We suspect that the organic FM causes the non-wetting problem. FTIR analysis confirm that the FM is a flux residue. Dave we only used FTIR to detect organic contaminants, we also used SEM/EDX to determined the elemental composition of the

Well, for some reason the board house will pay for the boards but has some issue with paying for the parts on them. Why am I not supprised? Perhaps I have mis-diagnosed the problem. We have found two different board p/n's with the same type of defec

@Evtimov I can't use flux as the components being soldered can't cope with any contamination whatsoever. Even an ultra low solids no-clean flux will be too much. I also can't clean the boards after soldering due to any residual contamination from the

Sounds like you may have already found the issue: inconsistency from your supplier. Seeing as Gold really doesnt oxidize and you're using an inert environment (N2 I suspect), I would turn my attention to the supplier. You said yourself, the "Shine
