Dave, I'll respond by paragraph: | | | Brian: | | I like Ag2 also. I prefer it over both 63/37 and 60/40, if the price is not a factor. Yes, gold rips through eutectic and near-eutectic solders like habanero slathered shiitake burritos through

| | We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a re

1. What is the best way to remove polyurethane conformal coating from selected areas? Your conformal coat material supplier is best equipped to tell you how to remove the coating. Polyurethane conformal coating is not easy to remove. Without in-pu

Russ - I agree with the other guys that the problem could be black pad or some intermetallic problem, possibly related to the "conversion" to HASL finish. But my first guess is still partial reflow at wave soldering. You won't catch it by push

I am getting black spots / stuff while I run gold finish PCB through reflow soldering process using NC solder paste.The affected spots have intermetalic as black in color. Does not solder very well. I did look at the archieve but could not find info

That "C - it doesn�t matter" choice sounds good because it doesn�t give you a headache when profiling but it gives me a headache when I read the article in the current "newsletter" about profiling where I found this: "If soldering to gold over nick
