Dave F, so what kind of problems would I see if this turned into a problem?

Is there any conceivable way this could cause a tombstoned device?

A little adition to Norm's statement: Sn-Pb intermettalic compounds do not accept solder as they are (even without being oxidized).

Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder

Has anyone had negative experiences with hasl thicknesses below .00005'' of an inch on copper? If so could you please respond with what the problems were. Thanks in advance!!!

Around 1989 I had this probelmm with a SMT CCA that would not solder in one area consistently. I had it cross sectioned by the bare board supplier and found that under their metallurgical microscope the thickness of this HASL bare board could not be

We would be very wary of allowing 50 uinches, because this will likely result in reduced shelf life due to intermetallic growth. As a guesstimate, at least 10 uinches of that 50 uinches, and maybe more, is already intermetallic when you receive the b

Sure it's conceivable that thin HASL can cause tombstoning. Harkening back to the ample discussion in the fine SMTnet Archives, tombstoning is caused by an imbalance in solder surface tension between the two pads of SMT component. The source of thi

Can anyone advice me on the effect of SN100C wave solder on SAC305 hasl board? I suppose the silver content on the hasl pcb would leech(contaminate) into solder pot.? Would it affect the surface bonding between copper pad and the solder.?

Thanks for the reply, I do know that the HASL finish is "domed " on opposite sides of a QFP site & "smooth" on the other two sides. (ie. Sides 1 & 3 are domed, & sides 2 & 4 are smooth ) depending on the direction the PCB was extracted from sol
