Hi Doug, I think you are right..Let me do some EDX on other location to see any nickel oxide...BTW, is this black pad reworkable?? If yes, how? Thanks in advance,..

Does anyone have any reliability history on using compression mount connectors, such as LGA sockets (no soldering of contacts as contact exerts spring pressure on PCB pad) to PCB�s with immersion Au or ENIG finished pads?

For pads such as a d-pack... what is the effect on heat dissipation of leaving the unsoldered portion of the pad exposed metal or covering with solder mask? Is there a percentage of heat dissipation that is inhibited by covering with mask?

Are your pads on the board aligned correctly? I've seen this a lot lately. Pads on opposite sides are not aligned correctly. This causes the part to twist. If you have the Gerber and a way to check it, it's worth the 3 minutes to check.

Hi TIA, Check to see if you have solder resist between the pads on your PC board. If the board house just blocked out the resist all the way around the entire row, you may want them to change this to individual pads.

5 mil is perfect for 0402's. If you are printing SnPb solder use apeture reduction such as home plating the pads. However, if youre using SAC, we've found that printing the entire pad works best due to poor wetting compared to SnPb paste. Chris

Questions are: * Do these pads take solder? How well? * Have you stripped the gold and evaluated the condition of the nickel?

Actually, you will be soldering and wire bonding to the palladium layer, so we should have asked if you checked that layer, rather than the nickel. We not sure of the source of the copper that your see on EDX. It's possible copper from the pad migra

Hi Dave, The solder has tended to wet the component termination of Ag/Pd (chip capacitor) but has not wetted the pads, whereas the solder has wetted both termination & pads when using Ag/Ni/Sn finishes. Thks

Hi, What is this unacceptable? Designed the PCB is much easer if this is possible, so it would be really good to know why via in pad is a problem in production. Grant
