Hi Davef, Thanks for the reply. There seem to be no issues on SMT reflow based on some samples done. We have not stripped the gold yet. We did a X-section+EDX and we are seeing traces of copper on the nickel layer. Any idea what is the implication of

EDS @ 10kV maybe going too deep. I've talked to a surface science physicist that recommends Auger spectroscopy because it's more of a true "surface" examination tool.

Hi All, I would like to get some inputs regarding this.... I have bare PCB which were stored with kapton tape attached on the Au plated pads. These were stored for close to a year. Upon removal of kapton tape, we noticed discolorations on the edges o

Hi All, We are producing PCBA with COB process. We are using kapton tape to protect the COB pads from solder splashes/stains. Questions: 1) Is kapton tape an industry accepted way of protecting gold pads from solder splashes? 2) What are the chance

Q1. Is kapton tape an industry accepted way of protecting gold pads from solder splashes? A1. No. It is more accepted to resolve the reason behind the solder splats, so that the added labor and cost of taping is eliminated. Search the fine SMTnet Arc

Hi, During SMT process, i found that solder splash on the gold pad. The distance between the COB pad with component pad is about 1.25mm. My question is what material can used to cover the COB pad without bringing contamination. And i am welcome to

Common methods use to protect pads from solder splatter are: * No residue Kapton tape * Nonionic solder mask

Hi we are currently experiencing a problem with solder contamination of the gold contact pads on our pcbs following the reflow process, possibly through sputtering. We have been advise that this can be caused due to the pcbs being humid or due to th

Matt: What's the solderability protection on the boards? * Specification? * Actual? Are the boards fabricated by the same supplier?
