Can anyone suggest a cleaning solvent for removing silicon residue after K Tape has gone through 2 cycles of reflow soldering ? The solvent or cleaning method has to be compliant to IPC Standards - to be used for cleaning gold edge fingers - PCB asse

Again not quite what your looking for, but close, consider IPC-2221, Generic Standard On Printed Board Design, Para. 4.4.4 for minimum requirements for edge board connectors, as a baseline.

Hi Experts, Pls help advise what is the expected range of PCB gold thickness over Ni (for ENIG/Electrolytic fabrication processes)? any referrence standards set by the IPC?

Thanks Dave, IPC-6012 states min at 0.05um. Has this been a update or is it for a different class? thanks, aj...

I think IPC-4552 is define the thickness of Nickel as: 3 to 6�m and Gold as: 0,05�m minimum

We have an issue with solder wicking up the leads/ inside terminations on an SMT connector. The solder coverage is sometimes over 50% of the connectors inside pin length. The terminations are gold plated. Is there an IPC spec for acceptability? Plea

If you wish to specify ENIG, your best method of doing it is to simply invoke IPC-4552 (or IPC-4553 for immersion silver) on the fabrication drawing. These IPC standards define ENIG and IAg, and I believe they specify 150-180 uinches of nickel covere

The maximum ratio of gold weight to solder alloy weight can be calculated, to help prevent a problem from excessive gold-tin intermetallic compound (i.e., AuSn4). For the equation and its derivation, please refer to "The Use of Capillary Action Measu

| I am having problems processing immersion gold boards. The achieved solder joints appear acceptable a la IPC-A-610, but the resultant joint does not fully cover the land, i.e. you can still see an outline of gold pad. | What is the best way to achi

Hello everyone, I am currently running a gold plated SMT board and am experiencing tiny solder balls between the pads and the masking between the 20 mil pitch devices. I'm looking at these boards with a 60x microscope. IPC-610 say's any visible solde
