At a former employer we required HASL thicknes to be a minimum of 0.75 micron (30 microinches), as measured at the thinnest point on any given pad. This would generally assure a minimum 1 year solderability shelf life. Usually when we saw a soldera

Is there any criteria or limitations for SMT pcba's? We have boards in stock that we built and a customer wants to know what our procedure is for "storing" these boards which will have a few through-hole modules soldered to them after they get pulled

I think you're getting steered in the wrong direction, with the exception of DaveF's link. By the way, I'm a PCB fabricator, just to avoid any backlash. IPC 4101 is the IPC guideline for raw materials. It has 6 slash sheets for lead-free capable

Thank you for your prompt response. The boards we have made for us current are Immersed Gold treated because we have been hand soldering and needed flat finish that would solder ok without tarnishing too quickly. I will take a look at the link you pr

Hello! I have same feeling that if you would put best things together into one machine than you would get almost perfect one. But I think that I have that feeling by each machine purchase so life is not so easy with that. Regards! Danilo

Hi Patrick, Thank you for the info, We like to push ENIG, for us being the ENIG line is in house it is cheaper to use than the carbon, plus shelf life of the Carbon is an issue in Storage. Pre-application. Thanks again, Mike

Curiously... Shelf-life of the plating alternatives has been mentioned several times as a potential issue in these discussions. Tell me is there a market for a simple plastic packaging which could extend shelf life (and hence solderability) of these

Hi Experts. We have an expired OSP pcb and we wanted to extend the shelp life. Is it possible to rework the PCB by removing the OSP coating, micro etching and re-applying OSP finish. Any advice if this can be done? Any solution for this OSP pcb e
