What do you think about OSP ?

I think it might be the best choice for OEMs that only run one finish and practice JIT. (taking cost into account) For everyone else I think they will eventually run into trying to use them too long after they have been opened. But when you can run b

Typically, Sn/Pb solders are used to preserve solderability on leaded and leadless SMT components. Are other finishes (such as those used in PCB manufacturing e.g. Sn, NiAu, OSP's, etc.) frowned upon by PCB stuffers and their customers? I am intere

Hi, I understand that solder dipping of gold plated units (PCB or component lead) is not the ideal solderability test (leaching of gold in the solder bath being one reason). Would anyone have recommendations as to the ideal solderability tests for g

We use ENIG whenever possible, to the extent that we will try to talk customers out of Pb-free HASL until our keyboard punching fingers bleed. It's much more solderable than HASL and it's flat.

I've never tried OSP so can't speak to it's real world use. I only know what I've read about it (it has a shelf life and allegedly is less physically durable than ENIG) so I don't believe that it's a good fit for us. I understand that it solders

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol
