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

Hi, Try to check if there is water absorbed in the flux or the humidity around the wave area. possibly plating on barrels that might be damaged?

This might be a trival mundane suggestion but try to use non conductive plate to hold components. Probably even made of the pallet material. I am sure your pallet fabricator will have tons of scrap and he can help you find one. T

Kris, this practice has gone on for years. I have never heard of any problems associated with this. I have heard "grumblings" about tin lead parts being processed with lead free paste, but have seen or heard of no data to support. Russ

CRITICAL DILEMA! Has anyone run into the problem described below and if so, what was the fix (besides not dealing with this Supplier)? Also, we do not have component manufacturing process experience. We are purchasing a surge resistor that function

Any recommendation to reduce solder beads next to 0402, 0603 and 0805 caps and res? What about home plate vs. bow tie stencil aperture design?

I have used a 10% area reduction with home plates on 6 mil stencils with good success. If you're using 5 mil stencils you might go with 0 or 5% reduction.

Hi Dave, Thanks on your feedback, May I know the how's the contributing of Moisture content of bare board and the Thickness of the copper plating in the PTH to the solder ball and solder splash during hand soldering process ?

Anyone can help me how many percentage of blowholes and pinholes if i do the followings: 1. Increase copper plating thickness more than 25 microns. 2. Pre Baking of PCB to remove gassing by drying out the PCB's

I'm curious what you use for PCB Support. Are you using a dedicated support plate or are you using magnetic pins or some type of Grid-Lock system?
