Very interesting tread, many thanks to all. Matt please, now what does it mean for you? Will your custmer accept dull solder joints or will the plating be changed ? (ie. HASL, ENIG, etc) Tnks and regards GS*

I did not get that info. We sent them back and the vendor ran them through HASL finish. They processed very well after that. Thanks to everyone for the help. mk

Take a look at the boards, too. Could the HASL be different (in particular a domed or convex cross section) than what you're used to seeing? Is your printer actually working properly?

In HASL pcb coating you need to fully coat the pads with solder and then blow off any excess solder to leave a nice coating on each pad. Generally pcb manufacturers try to give you a flat pcb pad to make your solder paste printing more consistent. To

Hi all, We have to solder a nickel tabs ( coming in SMT reels ) in to HASL PCB finish pads using refow oven & during this we facing poor wetting issues, more voids & we done pull strenth , its came out with in 1 kg ,I doubt that nickel coated materi

We have some boards that exhibit poor solder wetting when reflowed. Nothing fancy, smallest pitch size .050. See photo's at http://www.sipad.net/SnPbwetting.htm Is this ; Contamination on the HASL finish? Insufficient solder,not enough to cover pad

Points to consider are: * Gold plating too thick [SB LT 8 uinches]. [Obviously, we're talking about actual plating thickness, not the specification.] * Reflow recipe improper [SB 220*C 5-10 sec]. A recipe that works fine for HASL needs to be hotter

Mile, Please tell me more about your soldering process: - Are soldering process parameters the same for all three pins? - Is unsoldered pin connected to thermal heavy copper polygon? - What is your board surface finish? HASL? - Sn/Pb or LF process?

It is only after the reflow heating process that the peaks may show up, as the solder build up in some vias(due to HASL'ing) might drip down during reflow. I don't think I've ever heard of it being desirable to have a bare copper surface that will ox
