OSP has limited elevated temperature exposure capability. Couple that with the fact that solvents (IPA in particular) will remove the OSP. The more material you loose the higher the chances for pad oxidation. We ran an experiment with board washin

Hi Experts. We have an expired OSP pcb and we wanted to extend the shelp life. Is it possible to rework the PCB by removing the OSP coating, micro etching and re-applying OSP finish. Any advice if this can be done? Any solution for this OSP pcb e

When applying the ECCOBOND E3503-1 thermal adhesive to attach a HB-LED to the slug area of a MCPCB, should the OSP coating on the slug area first be removed? I have heard that OSP coatings have poor adhesion properties so I'm wondering how to do this

Here are some options for removing OSP coatings from pads of the BGA substrates. * Leave the substrates in storage for 13-14 months. Shelf life of OSP coating is ~12 months, depending on the product. * Wash the substrates in your aqueous washer. Ea

We have begun using a PCB with Organic Surface Protectant. We normally run boards with non orgainic protectant. We can wash these boards with our ultrasonic cleaner using Zestron SC202 and a separate Hot/cold rinse system with an air knife. This r

You weren't specific about the OSP that you use. We use Entek Plus CU-106A. Yes, just about everything removes Entek, especially if there's heat involved. Ethone states: * Alcohol strips 70% of the coating * Water removes 15% * Kyzen Lonox only t

true in the olden days, new osp's have excellent thermal stability. they are thinned or removed by organic acids mainly. contrary to believe due to the higher tin content they do tend to work well with lead free better than leaded used to. cheers gre

Jason, What Chrys said! Don't try to run the bottom cooler, tried it in the mid 80's, don't work and don't want it to work. If one side of a fab is maintained cooler than liquidus and the other side into reflow it would have an easy 40C temp diffe

Since you�re asking the question about proper handling of OSP board, there may still be time to talk you out of using that material. * Cleaning of mis-printed board could cause non-wetting problems. This tends to remove a fraction of OSP coating. 0.3
