I asked several people their opinion of HASL 0201 pads and there was no positive feedback whatsoever. The most common concern was the domed/convex shape of the pad finish that would result in aperture gasketing problems, which you may already have e

One of our customers that always was going for Ni/Au surface finish on RoHS PCB and our processs was adjusted for that, "whithout any problem". Recently they decided to switch to another surface finsh: PbFree HASL. What is that? Imersion tin/silver?

You're creating a new alloy on the surface of your board. The alloy will have a melting point determined by the constituent metals of the alloy. Your alloy consists of: * Lead-free HASL solderability protection on the board * Lead-free solder paste *

Hi all, We have to solder a nickel tabs ( coming in SMT reels ) in to HASL PCB finish pads using refow oven & during this we facing poor wetting issues, more voids & we done pull strenth , its came out with in 1 kg ,I doubt that nickel coated materi

Hi Robl, Thanks for your qucik reply!! , i understand if we use aggresive flux that we can impove solder wetting over nickel plate vs PCB pads & we need to solder through 12 zones reflow oven. Prem
