hi, I would like to know if SMD parts (soic, small qfp, large qfp and tsop parts) can be programmed before PCB assembly and, if true, which companies can do this. These parts are either embedded microcontrollers with flash memory, flash memory and

Hi, We have recently moved to flash gold as well, as we had solderability issues with emerson gold, and this was supposed to be a solution. However I did not know flash gold would be thicker, and could have other issues. Is flash gold a stable boar

Flash gold is just thin electrolytic gold plating over electroless nickel or electrolytic nickel. Flash gold plating ... * Less than 3 microinch thick will be porous and take solder poorly * Greater than 10 microinch thick will cause brittle solder c

Good evening, We noted one more very strange problem with flash memory chips. Device fails test due to flash chip malfunction. From the first sight open joint or cold joint can cause such problem. But all chip legs are soldered well. We just heat th

I have no experience with soldering to a flash gold finish. We have specified ENIG for a prototype PCB order and the supplier is asking us if they can use flash gold. They are telling us that the two are interchangable which I don't believe. The

I tried to clone my cfi-128 flash memory card, but can't get it to boot. I am concerned because I have no backup if the original Flash card stops working. Does anybody have a flash card with Topaz-x VIOS and (MSDOS 6.2) preloaded? I would be looking

If you are a CEM you are setting yourself up for failure and will be left holding the bag. Flash gold has one purpose. It is a protective coating for the base medal to keep it from oxidizing. It is very thin and will be absorbed into the solder joint
