Square-leaded pin headers will typically bridge at the trailing edge (last couple of leads), since during peel-back, the solder at the trailing edge has "nowhere to go". If you have control over designs, ask your designers if they can put solder thi

500 insertions � 50 m gold => 300 insertions � 30 m gold => 50 to 75 insertions � 20 m gold => 10 insertions. " Dave stated that the 'm' referred to micro-inches. I could probably insert this board 1000's of times without a problem. Am I missing so

For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

First, �flash gold� is very loose language. It means different things to different people. �Flash� gold is a thin coat of immersion gold. Imm gold self-limits at ~0.3um[12uin]. And fabs put-down �flash� prior to electroplating thicker gold for wi

Assuming you are talking about solderable surfaces: People specify various materials to protect the solderability of the pads on the board. Gold, actually, Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold [ENIG], is popular. * Board fabricators like it because

Question; Do you think it's possible that your customer has got his units mixed up & actually means 0.3 micro inches of gold over 0.5 micro inches of Nickel? That is what I said but their vendor says they are building to print which says 80 uM and i

Well, no fault with your calculations from here. They appear to be correct. [Logic doesn't appear to be off to far off base, either. An epiphany, eh?] As mentioned in an earlier posting on this thread, consider following the recommendations of IP

a) Is there a recommended dip or dwell time for the dip soldering? Check your data sheet for the part. Dwell time is everything in selective soldering. Top side wetting is a good process indicator. b) How do we improve the solder coverage in the

Hi Mike, We only are using ENIG not hard gold, we are using edge contacts but the connectors will only be removed if the product is being replaced, normal life time for the equipment where the electronics is build-in is 15 years. Also the electronic
