Dunno about 310M flux, but I share your concerns about CU56. You might rethink your selection of solderability perservative, because Enthone: * CU56 allows one thermal cycle. * CU106A allows three thermal cycles. Good luck Dave F

I've had good and bad experiences with OSP's. First of all, ask yourself, "Why use an OSP?" If you don't need it, don't use it. Solderability is dependent upon the number of thermal passes (the fewer, the better), the thickness of the coating, the

Entek is Enthone's OSP [organic solderability protection]. It is widely used in the PCB fabrication business. Imidazole (Via Systems) is good, but is not as widely available. Search the fine SMTnet Archive on: * OSP * Entek CU-56, Entek Plus CU-10

Has anyone had experience using Copper Passivate coated PWB's, our supplier calls them "flux coated" but as it's an Organic finish is it handled the same as Entek and where can I get details about it?. I have used Entek CU56 & Entek Plus coated PWB's

Anyone out there using OSP with double sided reflow and selective solder pallets? I am having trouble testing through what is left of the Entek Plus on the test pads.

We knew they�d make you use those boards, didn�t we? Your boss could be correct, but then again, you might get away with baking. Entek coating thickness is often poorly controlled by fabricators. But if sample boards that you ran are OK, why not g
