Hi, Are you testing bare boards or soldered boards. Are the test probes in contact with soldered pads or contacting the copper with the osp coating (not soldered). If you could clarify this it would be easier to give some hints for probable causes.

Never heard of N-Tech. Whose material do they use? Two common materials are: Imidazole (Via Systems) and Entek (Enthone) OSP is a lacquer that fabs apply to boards by either spraying or dipping. What thickness control does your fab use? For inst

I am processing PCB's that have an n-tech osp coating and am finding huge inconsistencies in wetting. Some boards process clean with good wetting and the next has terrible wetting. The boards are stored and handled properly. Has anyone had this

What kind of lead free board? ImSn, ImAg, ENIG, OSP?

ImSn - Immersion Tin - Not Recomended- short shelf life ImAg - Immersion Silver - Prefered Surface finsh by most Board houses, Best reworkablility, 12 moth self life, ENIG - Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold - Second Choice for Board Shops, 12 -

PB-free Hasl was not mentioned due to the following: 1)Equipment Convertion at the PCB Manufacturing side is expensive. 2)You are subjecting the PCB to Higher Temps than Std. solder. 3)Most PCB Houses are not going to invest in Two Hot Air level

Dear Bruce, We had the same problem in the same condition. Every compnent and the PCB (OSP) has changed as lead-free and we need to solder them with SnPb. For solution we have increased the flux amount applied on PCB and the pre heat zone temper

| I'm having a problem getting good reflow on gold sufaced boards. The profile looks good and I have adjusted it both hotter and colder and adjusted the various times ( soak, reflow ) to no avail. What realy gets me Is that a month ago we built some

I think that the IPC spec only apply to the MSD. I had a paper from Lucent and forwarded by Francois Monette, please aware that the first 2 hours, the moisture doesn't bake out from the assembly/component and result show that it is increase the weigh
