Both imm silver and ENIG provide flat surfaces that are better for fine pitch placement and reflow than HASL. We know of nothing that makes BGA locations different than other locations when using ENIG solderability protection. More broadly, the pri

The problem you create by soldering from solder destination side (presuming you have already soldered from other side) is that you will trap air in PTH so you have virtually no continuous solder in PTH from one side to other. This will not meet IPC-A

We are using HASL board for Press Fit, without problem in the past until recently. Now we are seeing the solder in the PTH melt and block partially the PTH hole during the reflow. It gives problem when Press Fit. Anyone has advice on this?

Can someone point me to a standard, if there is any, or design rule regards with preffared spacing between PTH and SMT pads for LF wave soldering process (SAC alloy)

We have experience with this alloy, but with enig and we did start with PB HASL, none of our PCBs would of course pass thermal cycling at normal temperatures with the HASL so we went to ENIG. we could thermal cycle at 100-115C with no issues. We foun

Any issues in your experience using SAC305 for reflow and SN100C for wave on ENIG pcbs? I've seen the CD, but there's not much specific data regarding ENIG pcbs Thanks

Joe On the earlier ENIG comment: No, you're not missing anything. ENIG board are less likely to have copper dissolution issues that other solderability protection.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to site dress PTH holes filled with Nihon solder mixed with SAC solder at the rework station. But what i am seeing is the solder just doesn't melt and I am not able to suck the solder out of the PTH. Has anyone faced this i

IPC J-STD-001F: 6.2.1 Solder Application: Solder shall (N1D1D3) only be applied to the one side of a PTH except for intrusive soldering. Heat may be simultaneously applied to the both sides of the PTH.
