The Immersion gold is not a problem with BGAs specifically but "black pad" which can be present anywhere. The unfortunate thing with BGAs is you cannot see it. Personally I hate white tin. It is okay for single sided boards running no-clean, but c

Mark, that would be a good report to have a look at can you post it on the site or mail it out to me? Also I've been having an issue with blue peelable solder mask on silver boards where it peels the silver off with it. I've only seen this since my v

Q1) How to identify on good or bad RF shield that could contribute to dewetting? A1) We use Alloy 770 and 752 [German silver] for our RF shields. We have never seen a solderability issue, even aged stock solders well. * Nickel Alloy 752, Nickel Silv

Hi All, I have few questions about creeping corrosion that potentially happen on lead free immersion silver PCB as below: 1) What test that we can conducted to verify whether the failure we seen is due to creeping corrosion? 2) I heard that lead fr

cvrgrrrl Your first thermal cycle with imm silver should be the easiest to solder. That you see copper indicates you did no soldering, got no wetting, produced no intermetallics, etc. Tell us again which components did not solder? Wuzzis "plug" t
