The main advantage if ENIG over HASL is that ENIG is flat and HASL generally is not. The main disadvanages to ENIG over HASL are: * Cost of ENIG is 1.5 - 2X higher than HASL * Selflife is less than HASL * You solder to nickel, rather than copper * E

It stands for Elettroless Nikel Immersion Gold, a kind of PCB finishing Entek (there are several kinds) is a brand name of an OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative)kind of PCB finishing. Regards............GS

Organic Solderability Preservative, is a definition that you can find, for istance, on IPC-2221A (geneiric standard on printed board design) Tabel 4-3 (Final Finisch, etc) Regards............GS

We have been using this finish almost exclusively for fine pitch boards for about 5 years. Make SURE you use a board house that does the gold plating in-house. There are some potential issues as DaveF stated. The only problem we have encountered is w

HMP can mean a lot of things, although it is normally used as the generic name for one of the following alloys: Pb93.5 Ag1.5 Sn5 (296°C-301°C) Pb95 Sn5 (308°C-312°C) Pb97.5 Ag1.5 Sn1 (309°C) If you are talking abou

Hello, I am not familiar with Inertec but have some expirience with selective soldering process, My oppinion is that the wave and slective soldering are not the same game. In Selctive soldering process is very important the layout design. If use th

We theorize a secondary [bottom] side BGA can be wave soldered with planning. Issues are: * Keepout between the BGA and one side of the board that is clear of PTH parts requiring wave soldering, so to support the fixture. * Keepout around the BGA. *

If the copper on your PTH is not one thou, you will get blowholes. With the cost of copper going through the ceiling, you will get less than one thou of copper plating from substandard suppliers. Consider baking your boards prior to wave soldering

I have tried to solder sockets by reflow machine. but, failed because sockets were deformed after reflow.Has anyone had some advise for me?

This socket supplier never expected you to do what you're doing to his/her part. Some materials bear-up under the thermal strain of reflow solder than others. Try different socket materials.
