We have experienced a problem with tin leaching or discoloration of lead terminals on random parts on solder side of a paste/paste operation. The profile has been used on previous production runs and there doesn't appear to be any heat damage to othe

Matt: You're correct. Do not mess with these boards. If the immersion tin [imm tin] is discolored, it will not solder with routine processes. Ask your customer to return the boards to his / her fabricator and have the imm tin replated. The fabri

It has been my experience that the standard Fr4 material (Tg 135c) will discolor when processed at the new higher temperatures required for the high tin alloys... We have been using the High Tg Fr4 (Tg 170c) for many years to ensure this does not hap

Primary differences between Matte Tin plating and Bright Tin plating are: * Temperature compatibility ** Matte Tin is compatible with the elevated temperatures of lead-free, reflow processing (250-260C). ** Bright Tin has a tendency to discolor (turn

If you are saying that you have discolored white tin at in-bound inspection, you have bad boards. The boards are fabricated incorrectly. Your fabricator is deficient. That is the GREAT thing about imm coatings. You can look at them and determine

| We currently use HASL on all of our boards and I would like to move to something else. I have sampled some boards with Entek OSP and I loved it, the problem is we have plated mounting holes on just about every board we make. Does anyone have info
