What is "Black pad"in ENIG(Electroless nickel/immersion gold), how to solve if it happen in SMD BGA solder joint?

The board in the test "used an electroless nickel/immersion gold (ENIG) finish." If you are not using ENIG plating on your PCBs then you may not suffer from the same issue.

With regards to PCB surface finish I would recommend Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) because of the long shelf life, tarnish resistance, RoHS-compliance, and easy soldering compared to other surface finishes. http://www.surfacemountprocess.

Hi, i'm facing solder mask peel off but limited to the solder defined pad only(opening area). no peel off on the other area and it happened on electroless nickel immersion gold finishing only. for other finishing is not affected. kindly advise if you

The ENIG process will yield between 3-7 micro inches (110 - 275 microns) of gold over the nickel barrier. This thickness range is pretty much the limit as this is a self limiting displacement reaction process. Once all surface nickel ions are repl

Haaaaa!!!! Soldering to plastic!!!! An apt analogy!!! I like to compare it to soldering to dirt. Some thing. In fact, you are soldering on nickel, when soldering on many things. It�s just that the gold, er Pd, flash enables the wetting mechanism

I've been using the Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold plating process for some time now. Here is what i know: It's very flat and solderable if you hold the board house to the following criteria: 120u inches of Nickel 4-9u inches of Gold What type of

What do you mean by "new information"? On final module testing: * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you detect it during final testing, you'll notice it. * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you don't detect it during final testing, you'll ship
