If you are using lead solder (SnPb) HASL is a good choice. If you are using lead-free (RoHS compliant) solder then I would recommend Immersion Gold (ENIG).

Don't make that assumption. Once we had concerns about PCB's not matching what was ordered. I said "if we got HASL instead of ENIG, how do we know we got lead-free?" I mean if one thing got mixed up in translation, maybe two did. So we put a bare P

We have been using SN100C lead free hasl for over a year now with good success. It is very solderable and has good shelf life. You do have to make sure the finish gets applied to the correct thickness. If the lead free hasl finish is not applied thic

Want to update this question a little, I know it appears few years ago, but I hope there is some updates... We have to assembly few samples of motherboards with this kind of finish (customer mistake during pcb order). Normally we can use leaded sold

Responding to your points: * The intermettalic layers [ie, Cu6Sn5, Cu3Sn] between the solder and the copper pad is the same composition with both lead free and leaded solder. The lead in solder has no impact on the intermetallic. * As you say, increa

I totally agree with you when whe talk about a lead-free process. In my early comment I thought we were talking about a tin-lead process with the pcb pb-free, when the solder paste limits should be respected. That is the motive the temperatures I sa

Hi davef, thanks again for that enlightenment. I'm just curious about what's happening with the solder joint of the said process. Again to add to my unending queries for now: So on top of that copper is a thin layer of lead-free solder composition

Hello, in my SMT process I have some problems with the solderability (look like dewetting) on a PCB with finish HASL Lead Free with a composition that is melt at 230 degree Celsius. My oven is with vapor phase and the peak temperature is 230 degre

It's a safe bet that your solder alloys will merge and form a proper solder connection at ~230*C for 15 to 20 seconds. At process conditions with less time and temperature, it's a lot of bla-bla-bla. In order to understand the quality of the solder c

Now seen the Blow Holes and shallow inverted and non wetting problem an aweful lot over here. Over came the Blow Holes and shallow inverted joints by washing the bare PCB with hot Saponifier then rinse and dry = problem dissapears. Think most PCB ven
