PCB immersion silver discolouration

We see this fairly often. It doesn't affect solderability. Our analysis makes us think this coloration is copper. The reason copper appears on the surface may be that heat cycles increase the thinness and porosity of the immersion silver [IAg] coatin

ENiG or IAg? Which is better?

Unlike other solderability protection, immersion coatings [eg, ImAg, ImSn, OSP, etc] can be reworked by the board fabricator prior to assembly operations. Reasons for selecting immersion are: * Until a supplier can demonstrate that they can turn bla

If you wish to specify ENIG, your best method of doing it is to simply invoke IPC-4552 (or IPC-4553 for immersion silver) on the fabrication drawing. These IPC standards define ENIG and IAg, and I believe they specify 150-180 uinches of nickel covere

Check with your PCB supplier who the manufacturer of your I-Ag is. This makes a world of difference with regards to solderability.

I hear that. A 2002? You poor b-stard! That's like having cold solder joints! (Gotta keep it related)
