Thanks for the reply, I do know that the HASL finish is "domed " on opposite sides of a QFP site & "smooth" on the other two sides. (ie. Sides 1 & 3 are domed, & sides 2 & 4 are smooth ) depending on the direction the PCB was extracted from sol

Hi Folks: We've been having bridging problems on our fine-pitch QFP's, despite thorough inspection of paste height, volume, and placement accuracies....profiles look good also. The bridging is happening after coming out of reflow...one last thing t

I am actually getting opinions that point to contaminated copper under the HASL finish. We've seen some "fish eyes" where the HASL is pulled away from the copper exposing a pin hole of copper that can be seen through the HASL finsh. We are planning o

had a quick question regarding compatibility of Sn100C HASL finish and regular Sn63 solder paste. Does the thermal profile have to reach Sn100C eutectic temps. in order for the Sn 100C HASL to coaelesce with the Sn63 Solder paste? How reliable is t

Alloy is Sn/Pb on a HASL finish. Standard no-clean flux reflowed in Nitrogen.

What type of finish are the PCB's? HASL, tin immersion, silver immersion,........we've seen all the above problems with HASL finished boards. Usually either reheating w/ a soldering iron or "burnishing" with a scotch brite pad has worked for us.

We are having an issue with a PCB supplier. Their Tin HASL layer seems to be the problem. We have triedworking with them to correct their process. What seems to have helped is lowering their temperature of the Tin dip from 540 F to 510 F.We still ha

How does the HASL finish and stencil match ? I have seen ocasions on fine pitch devices where the HASL can protrude into the stencil aperture either pulling paste down on the snap off or completely blocking the aperture and getting no paste.

We can offer two ways. We have a process control tool for OSP boards to validate the finish......but the dates yer talking may be best to take Daves F suggestion. NOW as far as the HASL finish goes...We may have your answer. We can Chemically revers

Has anyone had experiences of ICT test fixtures actually damaging the PCB boards - typically when they have moved away from HASL finish to OSP. I would also like to hear more about any specific issues seen at ICT for non HASL pcb finishes thanks -
