Below 40 microinches = Bad Solderability With pitches getting smaller and smaller flatness becomes more of an issue, but it's not to be achieved by blowing ALL solder off the pads.

Maybe trying to get a flatter HASL PCB. But i am unaware of the "entire industry" trying to go thinner. Russ

Also look at the Chinese labour rate trend & the exponential growth in spending on luxuries (Cars, consumer goods etc.) At this rate we'll be their sweatshop in the next 10-15 years.

Has anyone tracked solder (Paste and or Bar) over the last 5 years. My company would like to see what the trend was, but we didn't keep records since we purchase from distributors.

Most distributors (well maybe not but ours do) actually have that information. i would think that the metal suppliers would also have metal pricing trend info.
