I swear I posted it! I smoked an entire cigarette waiting for the damn thing to upload! I'll try it again when I get home tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What is too much silver in a joint

Electronics Forum | Thu Mar 28 11:37:08 EST 2002 | Bob

I have been looking at cross sectioned joints. In some instances there are areas where there are large concentrations of silver. Could anyone quantify what is too much and also explain how the intermetallics are formed. Thanks.

Immersion Au and ENIG surface finishes

Electronics Forum | Thu May 02 07:11:10 EDT 2002 | davef

They probably the same. Most likely someone is saying immersion gold [immersion Au] as a short hand for ENIG [ Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold]. It is very uncommon to plate gold directly on copper, because gold and copper form a brittle interm

Double reflowing BGA's

Does anyone have any data about the dangers of reflowing BGA's twice? I have a customer that is concearned about cracking in the intermetallic layer after the second pass. Thanks in advance.

AuSn solder alloy

Electronics Forum | Fri Dec 26 00:30:36 EST 2003 | Indy

hi, I wondering if anyone have any information on intermetallic growth in 80Au20Sn solder alloy. I have read that it has high reliability. Which bring an important question to my mind. What about Gold embrittlement ? Bye Indy

Sn62 eliminates voids on BGA ?

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 15 09:04:36 EST 2004 | rkevin

Does anyone have any information about eliminating voids on BGA using SN62 as opposed to the normal Sn63, something which explains the inter-metallic layers which form during the soldering process and the leaching out of silver ?

Soldering to nickle plated kovar parts

Electronics Forum | Tue Mar 09 21:17:10 EST 2004 | gm05688

When soldering a metalized germanimum window to a nickle plated kovar part, I would like to understand the intermetalic. Does the nickle plate actually melt or will the solder(SN63)simple stick to the nickle and not cause nickle to reflow? Any one ou

Gold contamination: MOSFET lead pre-tinning

Electronics Forum | Thu Sep 02 21:51:54 EDT 2004 | davef

Curious, but thoughts are: * Your pretinning pot is loaded with gold that has been removed from lead over a period of time * Your failed solder connections are caused by something else other that gold intermetallics * Your tinning process is undiscip

SN/PB soldering with gold plated pcb

Electronics Forum | Mon Apr 25 21:52:58 EDT 2005 | KEN

I wonder if yor customer means wrong "flux"? Your not solderng to gold. Your soldering to Nickle. The gold is disolved and dispersed. Your joint strength comes from the SnNi intermetalic.
