Sources of sulphur in PCB fabrication are: * Some locales have high H2S concentrations in the air. * Metal etching steps that use sulfuric acid or a sulfonated buffering compound may result in sulfate residues. * Sulfates can come from contact with

Any advise about dewetting defect occurrence during 2nd pass reflow. Commonality on affected PCB having water marks near affected pad(s). Elemental composition found on affected pads without solder paste are Silicon and Sulfur. As well as in pad with

Yes, electronics manufacturing is a volume producer of cardboard waste. If the components are ESD-critical, cardboard and most plastics are not ESD safe. Static charges can be generated on these materials during handling by the friction of dissimila

I don't know where sulfur would get into your resistor supplier's process. Your processes are more likely candidates.

All, Can someone help find a source for purchasing interleaving/packaging paper for Immersion Silver boards (sulfur free + ph neutral ..). Thank you!

As long as the surface is solderable, you should be fine. Silver tarnish a well0-known thing. Make sure, though, there is no sulfur (S) "around". Regards, Vlad

You can try a 5% solution of sulfuric acid. It's used to clean copper foils to IPC-TM-650 method 2.3.15 prior to testing for purity.

Yes, "corrosion" should be on your buyers spec for ESD mats. ESD mats are another one of those sneaky little gotcha things, where it's easy to think that all blue mats are the same. Kapon tape is another one where you can't purchase strictly based

HI..anyone who can give me a link to enlighten me on this plating for pb-free..Most people say this is the same? ARe they really? or different in process?? ..Any info on best storage for this plating? I have read all those stuff like avoiding sulfuri

We have an immersion silver board that has a brown discoloration after processing. It's not flux residue, that normally doesn't cause this condition. Elemental analysis shows less than 1% sulfur, and I thought silver sulfide is more a black color.
