Well, no fault with your calculations from here. They appear to be correct. [Logic doesn't appear to be off to far off base, either. An epiphany, eh?] As mentioned in an earlier posting on this thread, consider following the recommendations of IP

You bet our reponse changes. Q2R: Hard gold thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2R: This is a hard gold spec?? It looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. The gol

IPC-2221A, Generic Standard on Printed Board Design, the base document that covers all generic requirements for printed board design, regardless of materials. From there, the designer can choose the appropriate sectional standard for a specific techn

Hi Adam, I would suggest you refer IPC-2221 guidelines which define plating thickness as: Nickel 2.5-5.0 um , Gold 0.08-0.23 um. Although ENIG is a standard process, there is an associated risk towards Gold embrittlement, Porous Gold, or Black pad de

Hi Sachin, thanks for your feedback. According to our supplier, surface plating is electrolytic gold over Nickel(not ENIG), but I think that is a still improper thickness for Au. (according to 3rd Working Draft from September 2008 of IPC 2221B "0.4

Allowable bow & twist: Together, both IPC-A-600G and IPC-6012B represent the core IPC documents for describing the acceptable and nonconforming conditions that are either externally or internally visible on finished printed boards. IPC-A-600G relies

You are correct that hand soldering ceramic capacitors often causes them to crack. They do not take thermal shock well. You might be able to reduce the amount of cracking by following the rework repair guidelines discussed in the fine SMTnet Archiv
