What do you mean by "new information"? On final module testing: * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you detect it during final testing, you'll notice it. * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you don't detect it during final testing, you'll ship

To electropolish or not to nickel plate, that is the question. Whether it be nobler in the minds of the competition could be the answer. I think it will probably depend upon whom you ask the question. If the stencil mfgr. has nichel plating capibil

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

Hi Robl, Thanks for your qucik reply!! , i understand if we use aggresive flux that we can impove solder wetting over nickel plate vs PCB pads & we need to solder through 12 zones reflow oven. Prem

We now put soldermask on copper and then immersion nickel/gold plate our fine line boards. One of our vendors says this causes skipped plating in small via holes and wants to nickel/gold plate the whole board, including via holes, and then apply sold

| | Is there any problem using SMT on gold boards? 15 years ago we were told not to use gold boards, but I can't remember why. Judging by the other postings it now appears to be common. Only problem I see is that the nickel should be plated, not e

It's definately soldering because the fillet is pulling the solder plating (I believe, from what I can see under available magnification) off of the termination, and some of the nickel plating as well.

The aluminum material is typically plated by a zincation process, followed by nickel plate and a gold flash layer. What do the soldered side of the component and the soldered side of the aluminum coin look like? Do they both take solder?
