We're a custom PCB manufacturing services provider based in China and we have made many high quality circuit boards for high end products. Based on your project requirements and our years' experience, we are positive that ENIG is totally sufficient.

They probably the same. Most likely someone is saying immersion gold [immersion Au] as a short hand for ENIG [ Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold]. It is very uncommon to plate gold directly on copper, because gold and copper form a brittle interm

We are using NC. Paste doesn't seem to have an effect on the solderability on a bad batch of ENIG. When ENIG has gone bad, throw the board out.

Thanks Dave, The surface finish is ENIG.Is it ok not to bake even though the HIC has changed color? What is the shelf life for ENIG boards?
