Are there any standard qualification/acceptance requirements for immersion tin board finish? J-STD-003 calls out temp/humidity preconditioning followed by solderability testing which is similar to what we have in our (ancient) internal documents. O

Hello, Does enyone have any experience with Immersion Tin (Sn) as a finish process on PCB ? Any information will help ! Thanks Roni

we have shortlisted Immersion Ag and Sn.....do you have any special storage conditions in yr facility for Immersion Ag boards?

Immersion Silver, ImAg, is becoming the finish of preference. This is due to it having similar process limits vs. SnPb HASL. There were some early concerns about shelf life, but new chemistries have extended finish shelf life to 12 months+. Many boar

Hi, I am having a SAC 305 solder paste with water soluble flux wetting issue. during reflow, the solder melts, but doesnt flow. the reflow profile was developed by the solder company person (Kester). the board is a test assembly to validate our LF pr

Hi all, I am wondering what everyone is using as a PCB finish for RoHS. There doesn't seem to be a favorite out there. I know there are many companies using a gold finish but I don't want to pay that much and I have also heard about reliability p

We use immersion tin boards and ENIG with Sn63Pb37 with no problems. We did have to tweak the profile higher with ImmSn though.

HI Ok solder past seems to be ok, but what type do you have finihing of PCB(ENIG, immersion silver, SN100??), second what type of solder alloy do you have on BGA, its important, I don't think that you have problem with stencil. answer on my questio

Unlike other solderability protection, immersion coatings [eg, ImAg, ImSn, OSP, etc] can be reworked by the board fabricator prior to assembly operations. Reasons for selecting immersion are: * Until a supplier can demonstrate that they can turn bla
