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, I made a board wich I plated with immersion Tin, I tought it should be the same result as we had with tin lead but we ran into a weird problem. WE use a 63/37 no clean paste and on the Board with Immersion Tin the solder just make a ball ON

So how does this (lead free paste Sn42/Bi58) solder compare with the Sn-Ag-Cu (Tin-Silver-Copper) combination which does not flow as well (in the oven), needs higher oven temperature, (that can be adjusted by reducing the oven chain speed) and cost m

With Pb-Free HASL you can't use Pb process for sure as the melting point of tin is so much higher than the lead paste process. SAC305 is the most popular compound, unless your assembly requires something else for a specific reason.

Emmanuel, The discussion on what finish to use whether it be HASL, Immersion gold over nickel, Organic Solderability Preservatives, ect...... is still ongoing. This is not the only decision you need to make. Do you plan on Soldermask Defined Pads? Wh

Ryan ... "As for bismuth-based lead-free alloys, a lower melting temperature than that of tin-lead is offered together with a cost similar to that of tin [in the area of $3/lb]. Unfortunately, bismuth in soldering alloys tends to create embrittlemen

Back in the mists of time there were two papers on the use of Parylene Coating and the improved thermal cycling results in 1990. It was on LCCC then shortly after on BGA. Does anyone know of results of recent trials or have a copy of the BGA papers.

Hello I have the problem with selective soldering on the robot. Thin balls appear on the laminate. The tin sometimes shoots...? and then the balls are a few millimeters from the soldering point. I tried up or down with temperature, but it did not wor
