We are looking at reflow soldering some Flexi-rigid pcbs. I have heard that IR reflow soldering can make the Polyimide "self heat" and cause de-lamination. Does anyone have any info.

I have found that Sn62 solder gives better strength and leach resistance when soldering to gold surfaces. The gold needs to be at least 5 to 10 micro inches thick to prevent nickel oxidation but if over 25 micro inches will cause brittleness. I hav

We're not sure what your customer is talking about either. Gold and tin form an intermetallic compound [IMC] that can cause poor solder connections. To minimize the potential of a problem, keep gold to less than 3 percent of the metal. [Search the

Sounds to me like they are thinking since they have a gold board that it must be processed lead free. This kind of thing is happening all over since OEMs are starting to think about pb free and sending their purchasing and engineering to these semin
