We know SIR coupons are not ROSE coupons, but coupon boards are: * IPC-B-24 (copper and HASL, FR-4 and polyimide) * IPC-B-36 (bare copper and HASL, FR-4 and polyimide) * IPC Phoenix board (bare copper, FR-4) * IPC-B-25A (FR-4, bare copper only)

Good day, Are there any IPC standards applying requirements to HASL PCB shelf life? Are there any exact figures such as one year for instance? Could you point me to standard numbers if they exist. Iny input would be appreciated. Regards, Pavel

I don't believe there should be any issues with the HASL finish. The issue is how long on the shelf and is a bake out required to remove moisture from PCB, as in any FR4 PCB's that may have had time to absorb moisture.

We have found that when the HASL thickness is less than 5 microns the tin in the HASL reacts with the copper leaving a SnCu surface with poor solderability and microscopic grainy Pb islands. The IPC does not specify minimum HASL thickness but we now

Has anyone ever done a tape test to see if the solder resist pulls away from the PCB? Is this an acceptable method for testing solder resist acceptability? This is an issue I am experiencing with our PCBs. I am receiving boards with excess solder o

HASL Thickness: * HADCO DFM manual specifies a nominal thickness of 50-1500uin with an option for 100-1000uin * Merix DFM manual specifies 30-200uin IPC-6012, Class 1, 2, 3 do not spec a HASL thickness at all but only require that full coverage is m

It will be tough to find a dimensional thickness specification for HASL. IPC-6012 Table 3-2, line "Fused tin-lead or solder coat - Coverage and Solderable" states the requirement that there has to be complete coverage of solder on the land, and it mu

Information a SIR test vehicle can be found in IPC-9201, SIR Handbook [http://www.ipc.org]. Common test boards are: * IPC-B-24 (copper and HASL, FR-4 and polyimide) * IPC-B-36 (bare copper and HASL, FR-4 and polyimide) * IPC Phoenix board (bare copp

Boards with the LF hasl finish applied too thin will genrally pass the IPC test. That is some pretty agressive flux they call out. The boards usually wave solder just fine as well. Reflow is where the you see the problem.
