We follow IPC-2221 recommendations for Au and don't have a problem as long as the Ni is under 150 microinches.This ensures a consistent process for us.Also we do plasma clean after SMt and prior to wirebond.That makes a big difference. Rob

I don't know, but here is a link to a paper from the fine SMTnet Technical Library on a similar topic: http://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/Wire-Bonding-and-Soldering-on-Enepig.pdf Contact the authors and ask for their advice and help. BR, d

Hi, I have read many articles about theromsonically bonding to soft gold. Many of these articles state you can bond to 10uinches of gold. I have worked with both Hughes and Panasonic bonders at two different companies and I have never been able to

I don't have a plasma cleaner either. It will help a lot. Actually I don't clean at all. Our wirebond pads are far enough away so the flux residue does not get on the wirebond pads. That's what we think anyway. I am sure we have some degree of c

Hi all experts, I have no background about PCB or SMT process. I am now encountering some issues after SMT - Unstable stitch bonding condition. I am now suspecting some contaminants remain on lead after cleaning. Therefore, how can I check th

Yes. We use high speed dispensing (PanasonicFA)as an integral part of our PCB assembly. Our business is automotive electronics and our typical product is 2-sided smd with some through hole. We assemble topside first, through hole, then bottomside. Th

Thanks Chris. As I was writing my last message our mailperson dropped off the latest issue of Circuit Assembly. It has an article on mixing SMT and COB on the same board. The author recommends as a compromise 10-20 micro inches of gold over 70-100 of

For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

Thanks for cluing me into IPC-2221. Though the numbers they give seem to contradict what I have learned from people working with the materials. At least I now know where the guideline for a max of 30 microinches of gold for soldering comes from. But
