Steve: Fused HASL is a routine HASL coating that has been reflowed, giving it a flatter, less domed surface. Awww ol' Moonie always liked to set things like "fused HASL" straight, at least from the perspective of ... Ta Dave F

Has anyone had an issue with changing from a HASL surface finish to a LF HASL finish if it is still being used in a leaded process? Also we are having issues with the planarity on the fiducials with the HASL finish. Are there any suggestions or ch

We did a batch of boards with lead free HASL that we thought was leaded. Using standard leaded paste worked, but we did have some wetting issues. The issues were resolved when switching back to leaded HASL. Can't speak to your specific fiducial issu

We are moving from ENIG to Immersion Ag. We notice PCB's with Ag finish getting more heat(increase in peak temp) than the ENIG. Any reasoning behind this phenomenon ? KT

What surface finish are you using on the bare PCBs? ENIG, Silver, OSP, Leadfree HASL, etc.?

Anyone using Entek OM final finish to replace HASL & ENIG?

Never heard of Bareco wax. Check with your press supplier. They'll have the dirt on this carnuba oil stuff. I do question replacing ENIG with HASL, no other changes. HASL is going to fill that hole alot more than ENIG. Certainly it will displace

Get a couple of quotes on ENIG. You may be surprised at the price. HASL, (which is often considered to be the cheapest finish), is now more expensive for us than ENIG due to the extra processes involved.

I was referring to the HASL supplied by the supplier...specifically Lead Free HASL. I've been searching the web and I cannot find a thickness specification like we have for ENIG and Immersion Silver.
