5uin. Your nickel thickness is fine. Although if you wanted to trade costs, consider giving-up nickel to 150uin thickness, while increasing the gold thickness. Gold over electroless nickel creates brittle joints because of phosphorous in the nicke

We are in the watch & clock Business. We have a Watch IC chip that has to be wirebonded using Ultrasonic aluminium wedge bonder. The wire dia is 1.25mil. The PCB is made of G10 Glass epoxy copper clad laminate. The copper thickness is 18 microns. The

Yes pads are still gold after the wave soldering process even if you wave solder a pcb several times. I have tried soldering using an iron and the solder takes to the pad as you would expect. This happens on all boards of this type and all boards are

Hi, I think your friend wrongly changed the D code so that the finger width doesn't meet your requirements. And the fingers have long and short ones, which is hard to do selective gold plating because of not easy to add plating wires. Of course, you

John: What�s the matter? Free gold � good thing for you, bad thing for your supplier. :^) Pre-tinning of gold plated leads is important to: � Prevent gold embrittlement of the solder joint � Determine if the leads are solderable prior to assembly (

Looking for advice on soldering lead free paste to a board with very heavy gold plating, In my opinion, Gold contact surfaces are often used on circuit boards with membrane switches which is a choice of technology for industrial, commercial and consu

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

Dean: I associate black plague as an immersion gold process problem (although I could easily be wrong): Everybody looks at the nickel, but the cause turns out to be the immersion gold is too aggressive. The immersion gold works by corroding the nic
