We have a board calling out for 50 micro-inches of nickel over 30 micro-inches of gold. This is a solid gold board on Rogers material. ENIG cannot be deposited that thick right? Electroplated gold (we thought) was usually 35-50 micro-inches and was

Patrick- You have not given enought detail of the type of discoloration. Is it "white residue"? Can it be "rust" colored? Whatever it is, you fab supplier needs to be called in immediately and give you an exact reason for this failure. Just rubbing

| I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and

What you are seeing on your gold fingers is referred to as flux spattering. This is a very commond problem with gold fingers if you have a zero flux spattering criteria for quality control. The key to eliminating this problem is in the reflow profi

Please give us background on your situation, so that we can focus on the specifics, for instance: * This is a bare board problem, correct? Then, this contamination causes what the problems in your process? * What is the type [ie, FR4, CEM1, etc] of

We currently are building a pcb that has gold fingers, about 36 in a concave V overall shape from .275 on the outside edge fingers tapering down to .197 in the middle of the 2 inch span that plugs into a shelf connector. These fingers are on both sid
