Why soldering issues? I'd guess the nickel is corroded. It is very difficult to solder to oxidized nickel. Your SAC305 would get kicked all the way down the conveyor by nickel oxide. A lack of Ni-Sn-IMC formation will confirm this dewetting . What's

Hello, We are facing solderability issues on a particular lot of board. THe Nickel thickness measured with an XRF is around 400 U inches. Spec calls out for 130 u inches Nickel and 3 - 5 U inches gold over it. Assuming there is no porosity on the g

We have parts that have electroplated tin over nickel. The mfg. assures us the minimum thickness of the tin is 5 microns. Cross sections have shown many instances of 1 micron and pits that go down to the nickel barrier layer. A request for thicker

Hi Aj, Recommended Immersion gold thickness would be 3-5 Micro inches over 140 -200 micro inches of Nickel. Thicker Immersion gold than 5 micro inches can cause solder joint embrittlement. Gold readily dissolves in molten solder and will be present

I need to be sure of the Nickel/Hard Gold thickness to be specified on our drawing. We use hard gold on a slip ring pcb that has brushes riding over the conductive surface, so soldering is not the issue. I read through the hard gold vs immersion gold

50 to 75 insertions * 50 uin gold => 300 insertions

Hi Dave, Picture a camera mounted on top of a fixed base that pans 360 deg. back and forth. The motor connects through a circular slip ring board with brush connection. The rings are hard gold and the typical brush material is soft. Unlike the armatu

What do you mean by "But after performing temperature cycle test, the former aging rate (from the shear strength ) seems faster than the latter."? Comments are: I can't recall having heard the term "precipitation hardness" [not that that means anyt

.025" pitch so the only problem we run into is too much HASL on the adhesive side causing improper glue dispense. | As Earl keeps saying HASL thickness is hard to impossible to control. I think we need to look hard at OSP's again but then you get in
