This is an old topic, but keeps coming up. Solderability and reliability issues with SMT gold plated terminations when used with tin/lead solder paste/hassle finish PWB. I need to know which standard (mil, IPC, J-STD??) tells you all about the probl

John: What�s the matter? Free gold � good thing for you, bad thing for your supplier. :^) Pre-tinning of gold plated leads is important to: � Prevent gold embrittlement of the solder joint � Determine if the leads are solderable prior to assembly (

Sounds to me like they are thinking since they have a gold board that it must be processed lead free. This kind of thing is happening all over since OEMs are starting to think about pb free and sending their purchasing and engineering to these semin

Hi there, I want help on the following issue. Where I work, we place a component QFP 256 terminals (20 mil pitch)from hitachi (renesas), we use a MPM UP-3000 screen printer, IP-III placement machine and Vitronics 8 zones reflow Oven. lead plating

I battle this all the time, I don't believe that it is the "gold corner" that is causing the problem but something with the PCB layer makeup (copper planes, or bottom side components, etc.). It could also be the nozzle you are using has a "hot spot/

Hi, Is there a solder paste alloy espacially done to solder components on a pcb gold plated ??? I am using the AIM 297DX SN63/PB37 no clean and i had a comments from my customer telling me that i am not using the right alloy. Personally i never he

Your vendor site is totally correct. 2Ag is an excellent solder, but it does nothing to prevent tin and gold from reacting chemically. An earlier poster is correct gold goes into solution in liquid solder very fast, less than a second. Gold and ti

| Yes l know this problem keeps cropping up on the forum but l've missed some of the follow-ups. | | Our problem is that the lifting only occurs on 3% of production so actually detecting an improvement is difficult. We're actually having to inspect

To the best of my knowledge and experience the 2 % Ag component is not for embrittlement but rather to reduce gold scavenging caused by the propensity for tin to react with the gold. I have seen eutectic tin/lead actually disolve gold wire after a f
