You can also try the Florida Circtech website or call them direct. There is a min. thickness requirement and if the board house does not follow it you will end up with scrap boards after the second pass (from experience). I even sent blank boards to

We have mixed to negative feelings about Omikron, but I beileve it is due to problems with the board fabricator rather than the process itself. When done properly, our Omikron boards have had very good solderability. However, we have had several ru

Are there any standard qualification/acceptance requirements for immersion tin board finish? J-STD-003 calls out temp/humidity preconditioning followed by solderability testing which is similar to what we have in our (ancient) internal documents. O

Heat cycles deplete the pure tin layer. Each solder cycle reduces the tin thickness by ~0.1 micron (4 uin). So, if you start with a thin imm tin coating you'll have problems after multiple heat cycles. Steve Wentz says, "In almost every case I've

| We are investigating alternatives to HASL finishes for more dense PWBs. OSP is not a good choice because of low solid flux and possibly long shelf life. Immersion gold is expensive and so far has been more difficult to wave solder. Has anyone ha

Anyone have problems wave soldering white tin finish? We are an ems and our customer provides us the pcb's. SMT and TH components on the board. SMT is fine but when we wave solder, wetting to top side is very poor (solder only flows half way up). We
