Get a couple of quotes on ENIG. You may be surprised at the price. HASL, (which is often considered to be the cheapest finish), is now more expensive for us than ENIG due to the extra processes involved.

Can some of you kindly share some of your experiences with PbF PCB finish (OSP, ENIG, Immer Sn, Immer Ni,etc.) What are the benefit and disadvantage? Some of the issues that has been encountered. Which one you would recommend?

immersion silver has become my favorite finish for lead free. Seems toi have good shelf life is stored in the silversaver paper. and reflows real well. Russ

Hi We have recently specified the following on a bareboard that has an ENIG finish. Does it sound about right or is it likely to give me problems ? Nickel : 3uM � 7uM Gold : 0.05 uM � 0.1 uM Thanks in advance

Why do PCB traces need a surface finish? On microstrip (top/bottom) the solder mask does not help

My name is Geertjan de Beijer and I am new on this forum. I have a question about Electroless Nickel/Gold finishes. Until now we always use a HAL finish on our PCB's. Since we are using compontents with pitches of 0.5mm we notice that the HAL finis

You know, many SMD components have copper alloy leads and then a copper (or Ni) barrier on them. On the copper (or Ni) barrier there is the finish. Usually the finish is made of Sn\Pb (tin-lead), and if I solder with a Sn\Pb solder paste it's all rig

Hi all, I am wondering what everyone is using as a PCB finish for RoHS. There doesn't seem to be a favorite out there. I know there are many companies using a gold finish but I don't want to pay that much and I have also heard about reliability p

If you are using fine lines and tight spacing ENIG may be cheaper than HASL. This is because there is not as much bridging at the board house between traces so they do less touch up. This would probably be even more true with no-lead. We have been us
