>>> gold finger was covered by a Kapton tape and it was done offline away from the Screen printer or rather from the SMT lines itself, we are using an ENIG Pcb's , the process doesnt need a wave soldering ....however at the final end of the line ,

does anyone have concrete data on the reliability of lead free components-SN/Bi used with tin lead paste thanks

Hi Steve, I just confirmed with the manufacturer and the HASL is tin/lead (or it is supposed to be, at least). Any suggestions for how to test for nickel vs tin/lead? We're using an alcohol based no-clean flux from Alpha.

I am a big fan of AIM SnPb solder paste. I currently use NC257-2 (no-clean, 89.5%), and recommend you include it in your evaluations.

try Almit Sn62 HM1 RMA V14L ....its the best no clean lead paste for wetting...I sell it and it has solved wetting problems many times when users have used other pastes

Hi Zac, was that board finished with tin/lead HASL or leadfree/HASL? Also what type of flux were you using? Just because a board is fresh out of sealed packaging doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to solder well. The picture that I've attached

Does anyone have any insight on alternatives to Indium NC-SMQ 92J solder paste for minimizing poor wetting on parts with oxidized leads (see datasheet here: http://www.dtsprocess.com/contents/articlefiles/6-SMQ92j.pdf). I am considering setting up a

We are a small company, reletivly new to doing our own SMT (1 year) and we are having an issue, I think. We manufacture many board with no problems, but we have one that constently defeats us. This particular PCB has ENIG finish, and we have had th

We have been using ENIG for 8 years as our primary board finish. We have not seen any issues with tenting the vias. We have used a number of suppliers. The ENIG from China does not seem to solder quite as well in general but only had black pad from o
