Go to the top of the page and enter your topic in the "Search SMTnet" window. It can take some tweaking to get it dialed in to the exact topic you want. Do you mean the paste was on site for 3 weeks, or was it actually out of the fridge for 3 week

John, I have had previous experience of immersion silver coated PCB's in place of HASL coated type using no-clean processing with little or no problem at all. All of the process parameters were left unchanged. There is a very minor difference in th

Charlie B: You mentioned that you have an air conditioned environment and a RH 0rf 50, baking the boards is predominately done when the history of the PCB delivery and / or previous storage conditions are un known. When I was with a CM, we did this a

We are increasingly being asked to store components for longer and longer periods which we know through experience leads to reduction or total loss of solderability of the parts. 1) What is the industry accepted shelf life of tin/lead plated compone

You have provided very little information. Two similar possibilites come to mind: poor pad solderability protection and old boards. POOR SOLDERABILITY PROTECTION: Maybe the nickel plating under the gold is oxidized, contaminated, or otherwise very

We are considering the use of Immersion Silver for a PCB surface finish. We currently use Immersion Gold surface finish, which has served us well. However, recent discussions on the cracking of corner joints on large pin count BGA packages, with the

Roni: Ron gives good advice on the thickness of your Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold (ENIG) solderability preservative. Several additional comments are ENIG: � More expensive than OSPs and HASL. � Much flatter surface than HASL, similar to OSP

Hi everyone: Our company is trying out immersion white tin for fine pitch assembly with what I would call mixed results. Reflow solder looks very good, but wave solder looks somewhat grainy (this may not be a problem in actuality). We had dewettin
