hi' i need advise on immersion silver PCb shelf life. 1) what is the shelf life for Immersion silver PCB? 2) iF PCB expire, can we bake the immersion PCB? what temp & duration? 3) How long can we keep the pCB again after rebaking? (with vacuum seal)

The shelf life of immersion silver is 6 to 12 months in good storage conditions. The finish is usually coated with a protective layer that inhibits oxidation (like with copper OSP). Care must be taken when handling the boards as the protective la

Imm silver holds-up to multiple thermal cycles very well. The things, we guess, are happening to make imm silver tough to solder after heating and sitting are: * Oxidation of the silver. * Reduction of the co-deposited organic anti-tarnish [used in

May I ask what component types you are using and who the suppliers are? FYI - If the components have exceeded their shelf life, they may have oxidized too much for soldering using low activity fluxes. Thanks and best regards, SR

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

Thank you Stephen... I also mistaken it with Immersion Silver.

ENIG boards have low shelf life as oxidation starts showing up quickly on the solderable areas. We usually keep them vacuum packed till they are ready to be assembled. Most PCB manufacturers will send them vacuum packed.

The G in ENIG is gold. It does not oxidise. Either you are thinking of OSP or your board shop is providing defective boards if your boards show oxidation. It would be the nickel that is oxidising but should be totally covered by the gold. Is there

The solderability shelf life of ENIG is related almost entirely to diffusion of O2 through the gold plating. When O2 diffuses through the gold, the underlying nickel is oxidized rendering it unsolderable (with ENIG - you solder to Ni, the gold dissol
