I am looking for an industry standard �stock� note to place on our printed circuit board assembly drawings that will capture a level of cleanliness for an IPC-A-610 class 2 board assembly. I�m looking for some quantitative spec for cleanliness that w

Hi all, For leadfree HASL finish, is there any specification or guidelines for contamination level, esp Cu% to refer? How can we ensure the HASL finish composition is reliable for assembly? Thanks..

Yeah, adopting is the right word. In this new lead-free era spec.'s are made to stay within the scoop of the RoHS directive. The driving force for spec.'s should be reliability. Did you see any impurity level spec.'s yet in wave soldering for Cu, Au,

Isn't it funny how solder manufacturers are adopting a spec. limit of "not to exceed 1000ppm of lead content". Doesn't leave much room for the rest of the "process".

What is the IPC Spec for Golden Ground Pad Contamination with Solder ? Especially for Automotive product.
Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 12 08:27:00 EDT 2007 | rgduval
Have you checked the parts for contamination? Are the voids out of spec? IPC allows some voiding, especially with lead free solder. Component contamination can cause this to repeat, as well. Try pre-tinning the component in question, and see if s

If the contamination came from the SMT process I would have expected it to be present in the joint above the finish. It is isolated to the EN layer in the ENIG finish. We are doing more analysis to determine the number of boards with the contaminatio

Military and most commercial standards requires post-soldered boards to measure less than 10 �g/in of NaCl (14 when using an Omegameter, 20 on a Ionagraph, and 37 on a Zero-Ion). As Dave stated, 6.5 �g/in of NaCl is called out in Mil-P-55110 for ba

Thank you all for your replies. I guess my age in this industry is showing. This military spec. does not appear to be in existance. So, let me make my request a little more to the point: Is anyone aware of a specification specifically referencing

HI can anyone tell me if they ask there board houses to hold to a max amount of contamination NaCl per sq /in on there incomming bare boards, I have a Ionograph 500SMD and have been testing some of the bare boards comming in to stock, some are much
