As davef states above, you would like to have flat surfaces below 25 mil. We are a contract manufacturer also and we've done thousands of 15 mil QFP's with HASL finish with no problems. Your success will depend on quality of PCB supplier providing th

At reflow an inert atmosphere is used to mitigate the occurance of oxidation, to me the decision weather to move from an inert atmosphere is based on several things ; PCB surface finish - are you using a HASL finish, OSP or another surface finish and

Thanks Sir Dave. Yeah my apologies. To clarify, we built the product PCB whcih has a Lead-Free HASL Finish using a Sn63/Pb37 Solder paste. My major concern regarding reliability is that my profile whish is between 215'C-225'C was insufficient to ref

What kind of changes could be expected by changing from a HASL finish to gold? We have a board the had been being coated with HASL but was changed to gold to make priting easier. Now, even though the soldering looks fine, we are getting fallouts at G

Mat, Are you sure you should be using SnPb HASL boards if you are doing prep for lead free? If you aren't actually going to comply with RoHS then fire away. Nearly all of our assemblies are now ENIG and as any re-design comes up on a HASL board it is

for the fiducials, try a donut shape instead of a disc. The HASL solder seems to settle more evenly on a donut than it does on a dic.

I have some suggestions. We have been fighting bad fids for years. Some things we have tried that have helped is: 1) Look at your relief area around your fid. Does it butt up against the solder mask. We allow 20 mil around the fid as a relief ar

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
