When soldering a metalized germanimum window to a nickle plated kovar part, I would like to understand the intermetalic. Does the nickle plate actually melt or will the solder(SN63)simple stick to the nickle and not cause nickle to reflow? Any one ou

When discussing this with the customer he said that his vendor recommended a hard gold plating finish on the board due to the BGA. I said "hard gold"??? And he said yes, hard gold. Turns out the boards were plated with hard gold, not ENIG. Thank

Anyone experience using SnPb wire to gold plated ICs? I have tried to solder the SnPb wire to the gold plated ICs lead, but the surface finishing is dull. Can anyone explain that to me? Why it is not shinny surface? Any recommendation?

Does anyone have Data/Comparisons showing which component plating is better, Nickle plating vs. Sucoplate for SMT production? These components would be reflowed with a SAC305 alloy

This appears to be black-pad and is often the result of using specs that call for gold plating that is too thick. The black pad is corrosion that is created between the gold and electroless nickel during the gold plating process. This is counter in

I'm still sold on the "black pad" model. The price of gold should be a good indicator of what is happening. The gold plating solution is being used well past its life and plating times are stretching. Extended time in the plating solutions is a lo

Hi, what is significant different between PdNi and PdCo Plating? I found in some papers indicate that the deposit characteristics for both plating is totally the same.
