Thanks for your input folks. I will have to get back to our customer regarding the analysis as it was them that carried it out. If I can get more details then I will post them. For my own benefit, is phosphorus crystal formation to be expected using

I asked our lab about this and received this response: "Typically 7 - 9wt% phosphorus is used. Higher concentrations (10 - 12 wt% phosphorus) reportedly help prevent Ni-P corrosion during the IG processing step, but they are also reportedly more dif

You said your gold processing is immersion. More importantly, what is the process used for your nickel? Electroless correct? What is the percent by weight of phosphorus found in your analysis? How many times was the nickel plated? [You should be a

Use IPC-4552 for your ENIG thickness. Typically, ENIG has nickel deposit with medium [7-9 percent by weight] phosphorus content. That's what fabs do on rigid boards. On a flex with medium-P and IPC-4552 specified ENIG, you could see brittleness and

Hi All, I have observed this problem with one PCB supplier, the portion of the PCB area affected was cut and observed in SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and submitted to an EDX (Energy Disperse X ray analysis), finding Phosphorus levels higher

Hi after an enviromental test 85C/85RH, for 3 months (powered), of an electronic assembly with edge finger tabs ENIG finished (nickel 5micron, gold 0.02micron), the nickel disappears completely under the gold (due to corrosion, I think). Does anyone

* Finally, when soldered by hand, do the problem pads take solder? Yes, the XRF analysis will be interesting.

The gold needs to go into the solder so the solder can form a connection between the the component and the nickel under the gold. The gold will disperse into the solder. Most of it will remain in your solder pot after board processing. Assess the c

hello colleagues, Hoping that everyone is doing well, I am reaching out to you in the hope that your experience can help me. We have a wave solder with sac0307 alloy and the pot has turned a golden color, at first I thought it was common tin oxidat

Congratulations on your new customer. This could be a keeper. Here's what you're familiar with: Electroless Nickel - per MIL-C-26074 and ASTM-B733. Electroless nickel describes the plating of nickel deposits, which may contain phosphorus and boro
