We are investigating alternatives to HASL finishes for more dense PWBs. OSP is not a good choice because of low solid flux and possibly long shelf life. Immersion gold is expensive and so far has been more difficult to wave solder. Has anyone had

See "IPC-4554 Specification for Immersion Tin Plating for Printed Circuit Boards" 3.2.1 Immersion Tin Thickness. The most common reason for solderability issues with the white tin surface coating during multiple thermal excursions is a thin white ti

| We have mixed to negative feelings about Omikron, but I beileve it is due to problems with the board fabricator rather than the process itself. When done properly, our Omikron boards have had very good solderability. However, we have had several

Hi Oswald, Shelf life with ENIG if vacuum sealed and kept in controled enviroment would be 12 to 14 months. Shelf life in shrink wrap - No recomended packaging, 6 moths. If Shelf life goes over the 12 -14 months - Baking ? I would not suggest re-b

What are other testing/process step that we should do if we where to use the old date code QFPs other than solderability and baking ? What is the plating composition normally %? lead, % tin etc. I have my policy not to accept the more than 12 mont

A lot of it depends upon what the lead terminations are and the storage conditions. For example if they are tin you will run into trouble. We have used all types of parts that are all ages (We just started doing BGAs that are 5 years old.) I don't

Thank you Stephen... I also mistaken it with Immersion Silver.
