ASIR, Findings for us so far: OSP- has worked well for us for single sided boards only. We have seen problems with using it on double sided reflow applications. Also, some customers have specified OSP, but are intolerant of exposed copper. Limited

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

I have just started production run using this component. After reflow I see that there is an undercut of solder between the pcb and the lead instead of a fillet. This means that some of the leads are sitting above the solder with no wetting to the co

When discussing this with the customer he said that his vendor recommended a hard gold plating finish on the board due to the BGA. I said "hard gold"??? And he said yes, hard gold. Turns out the boards were plated with hard gold, not ENIG. Thank

Hi Justin, The solder paste we are monitoring well. And there is thawing machine to make sure solder paste is not opened early, before it reaches its ambient temperature. we have got a suggestion that , it might be from PCB enig surface finish. Mig

Hi , We are having Pin hole issues on the passive locations in the board after the SMT reflow process. Details: PCB surface Finish : ENIG . Solder paste : Alpha OM338 – M13 / Indium SMQ92J Location : Its Random and more on passive components. {

nothing but... We've had peel-off melting after reflow, burn up and turn hard and brown, melt in the holes and then turn hard... All very hard to remove afterwards. We have yet to find a proper solution.

Hello all, Our company has always used HASL finish on our products. Recently however, we have a had a problem on a couple of boards that I have been told cannot be avoided with HASL, and we should switch to ENIG(electroless nickel immersion gold).
