Anyone experience using SnPb wire to gold plated ICs? I have tried to solder the SnPb wire to the gold plated ICs lead, but the surface finishing is dull. Can anyone explain that to me? Why it is not shinny surface? Any recommendation?

Hi, I am process engineer in PCBA factory.I have a question about gold plating on BGA.I want to know difference soldering performance between gold plating electrolytic and ENIG.Many thank for any idea.

Chemical gold is a poorly defined [very sloppy] term that means various thing to different people [as you've demonstrated]. Commonly it is either: * ENIG: 5�m Ni, 0.1�m Au * Immersion gold "Autocatalytic chemical gold plating" - Refers to "electrol

I ordered few times of prototyping gold plating > pcb from China. How to i differentiate they are > ENIG or Flash gold? Hi,Friend , this is very easy to distinguish the ENIG and gold plating pcb, you can stratch the solder mask off and see the co

When discussing this with the customer he said that his vendor recommended a hard gold plating finish on the board due to the BGA. I said "hard gold"??? And he said yes, hard gold. Turns out the boards were plated with hard gold, not ENIG. Thank

Hi, Does anybody know what is the minimum gold plating thickness on the PCB goldfinger required by the industrial specifications - IPC, Bellcore, etc. Where can I find the information? Appreciate for the help! Thanks, Tony

Can someone tell me what metal substrates are comonly used for component leads with gold plating? If the gold plating is missing, are any of the substates incompatible with 63/37 solder? Thanks.

Fair greetings, just a thought on flash gold plating... stubborn brat am I?! thou shalt need to know whether the selective gold plating is for solderability enhancement purpose? or any other undisclosed purpose? at least thy hast not received any i

I opened a two product boxes which are similar and have PCBs. The PCB in one box is gold plated. Can anyone explain why it needs gold plating? Thanks in advance

On a gold plated PCB, when in the PCB fab process is the gold plating applied? How about OSP, when in the process is OSP applied?
