On a previous black pad experience we soldered a wire to a fiducial and did a pull test to failure. On the black pad board the wire and solder pulled of clean leaving the fiducial on the board. On good boards the copper came off with the wire. If you

I'd guess that "black pad" is not the issue that you need to address, because only 2 of your 5 test points has the problem that we seem to be discussing. I'd expect "black pad" problems to be more wide spread. Something is going on at those two locat

Be careful if you use Ni/Au. The "black pad" phenomenum can be crippling. We moved from Ni/Au to OSP because of it. I also don't want to return to the lack of flatness of HASL.

Steve - I believe you should ask who has NOT dealt with this before. Search the archives for "dark pad" or "black pad". It's a common problem for immersion Gold. Does anyone Know any other descriptive names that I missed (and can be printed

Doug, We've suffered through similar frustrations. One thing we found that might be of some help is uur supplier, unbeknownst to us, was outsourcing their immersion gold. Their supplier apparently lost control of their process for a period of a fe

This sounds like it could possibly be a case of Black Pad. We have had a few issuses with this in the past as well. Who the PWB vendor? I also recommend searching the archives and doing some solder samples with nonpopulated boards

Sounds like the Infamous "Black Pad" Phenomenon to me. A search through the Archives should bring up lots of stuff. DG

Do you have any picture or reference how can we determine black pad or plating contamination. I have heard about a lot of problems regarding BGA's and normally these components are only replaced or heat it and that's it ,after that the boards are wor
