The main advantage if ENIG over HASL is that ENIG is flat and HASL generally is not. The main disadvanages to ENIG over HASL are: * Cost of ENIG is 1.5 - 2X higher than HASL * Selflife is less than HASL * You solder to nickel, rather than copper * E

Hi all, What should the typical gold thickness be on ENIG boards ? aj...

Hi Aj, Recommended Immersion gold thickness would be 3-5 Micro inches over 140 -200 micro inches of Nickel. Thicker Immersion gold than 5 micro inches can cause solder joint embrittlement. Gold readily dissolves in molten solder and will be present

Hi Experts, Pls help advise what is the expected range of PCB gold thickness over Ni (for ENIG/Electrolytic fabrication processes)? any referrence standards set by the IPC?

J-STD-001C requires removal of gold from (through-hole) component leads when the thickness of the gold layer is above 2.5 microns to prevent problems with embrittlement. The thickness of gold on an ENIG board typically is around 0.05 micron, resultin

We have some circuit boards where the solder mask seems clear instead of green on top of some of the tented via pads. No gold deposited during the ENiG process and no solder sticks to it but why is it clear and does it have any correlation to the thi

We had an issue with the finish, PCB manufacturer is telling that they had a problem with the Nickel rework, which resulted in 20% fall out. Please help me by providing the ENIG thickness for Flex boards, is it same as rigid boards as per IPC 4552. I

More detail Jinesh. Profile, datasheet of the part, stencil design, PCB finish, soldering material. Initially I am assuming you use pallet to reflow 0.2mm thick board.

I would be afraid of this board supplier, ENIG is self limiting. Russ

I'd post an image of your current profile if you could. Have you tried a RTS profile instead of a RSS?
