John, We regularly wave solder electroless silver finished boards (Alpha Level)with mixed SMD and through hole parts and do not have any problems. We have changed a number on PCB's from HASL to electroless silver, mainly for the benefits at SMD whe

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

Hi there, Could someone please tell me diferences and possible benefits that are found when using silver as a pcb finish as opposed to HASL. I've already tried the archives without much luck. ta much, jack

I am having a problem with wetting on some feedthru wires. The problem seems to be contamination on the wires, due to the fact that the problem seems to be wire lot dependent. I have analysed it using SEM and come up with very little. Is there ano

hi, Having put a copper socket trough a wave soldering machine, and then through a DI wash, the boards have been dried and after a few days a green residue has been noticed on the copper. any suggestions? not drying properly maybe? or could it be th

Pure (red) copper oxide is green, its not a residue its just oxidation. In your case water and heat will accelerate the oxidation process of unplated or unprotected pure copper. The best way to avoid this from happening is use a socket with tin or n

Your copper corrosion is not good. It indicates that you have not done a good job in cleaning. [We assume this is a medium green color, not unlike the color of the solder mask on your board, that is almost like a translucent lacquer; rather than th

Immersion Silver PCB Surface Plating - Dennis VanBuren 14:21:24 02/01/2000 [Wudja mean "not much luck" searching the archives? What is this haggis???][Is that like saying "what is this chopped liver??"]

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

Hi Jack, I once tried this finish ( without changing any process parameters ) and encountered wetting problems even in the first reflow process. It was thought as cheaper alternative to Ni/Au we use for planarity reasons. Heard of the same problems
