Dave, Sorry to drag this out some more. When I saw this thread I realized that we often get PWB's fabricated with a gold plated edge connector tab. However we have not ever given any specs to the fabricator regarding the gold plating - all we say i

We are having solder fillet finish issue. The solder looks like rough solder on the connector leads .The plating of the leads is Nickel (99.9% purity) and the PCB plating is imersion gold. I have tried fine tuning my reflow profiles an have used N2 i

What is the disadvantage of palladium plating instead of gold plating? I saw many advantage of palladium plating in term of hardness, wear resistance, and price but why most of the PCB Industries still use gold in PCB pad? Thank you

Hi , Could you be seeing the nickel under the gold plating because you are removing some of the Gold with the Kapton Tape....?? You mean , the adhesive properties of the kapton tape will cause the gold plating on the gold finger to be somehow peel of

Thanks for all the answers. I should clarify that the problem was found to be on the SMT LED gold plating, instead of PCB gold plating. We had confirmed this problem by running some DOE experiments and some reliability testings. We had decided to d

I don't recall thicknesses off the top of my head but brittleness becomes an issue more for gold plating then ENIG. .125 um should be fine. also, gold ain't cheap so its unlikely your PCB fab will get anywhere near the max tolerance. On the other e

We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have to bu

Please: * Describe the color and texture of the dry solder connection on the board. * Tell us the thickness of the gold and nickle plating on the board pads. * Inform us about the width and scope of the problem.

Can I ask what was the organic portion and did you find any phosphorus at all as too much in the plated gold will definitely cause dewetting
