Hi Bob, welcome Let's take this a little further. You'll also see HASL referred to as HAL and gold referred to as ENIG (electroless nickle, immersion gold. Other common surface finishes for preserving solderability include OSP(organic suface protect

We can offer two ways. We have a process control tool for OSP boards to validate the finish......but the dates yer talking may be best to take Daves F suggestion. NOW as far as the HASL finish goes...We may have your answer. We can Chemically revers

Now don't everyone jump on this at once, but it seems time for me to send out copies of my not even close to being dated copy of an article about HASL. Though it was published in 1992, in Printed Circuit Fabrication Magazine, and it got rave reviews

| Okay, here's a stupid question. What exactly is HASL and OSP? We are going to delve into this technology where I work and I want to utilize the wealth of knowledge here to make life easier. Specifically, what are the differences, the advantages, di

In the case where fiducials with a HASL finish are removed from a panel in the depanelizing process, what do most people do for disposing of the rails? Since the HASL finish has lead in it, is it generally required that they be disposed of like print

We remove the fiducials by pushing sideways on them with a hot soldering iron. The copper pad separates from the FR4. We collect them and dispose of them. We have thought of disposing of the rail material with the boards, but our recycler doesn't w

Matt, Had a similar problem with HASL that wasn't fluxed properly during fab. The appearance of the HASL looked dull and/or mottled (sp?). Solder was curled under on the edges where it should have been smoothly joined to the pad. Almost like a pu

Rob: Why aren't the board houses over there going to lead-free HASL [not that HASL is the most wonderful thing on the planet]? What's the price delta on an unit basis for a x-HASL, now imm Ag board? Anyhow back to the point, so, you're proposing t
