Remember the gold is only deposited to provide an air barrier so that the nickel does not oxidise. Normally the gold is absorbed into the solder joint so that the solder forms a joint with the nickle. It is not unusual to see gold remaining on pads i

Roni: Ron gives good advice on the thickness of your Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold (ENIG) solderability preservative. Several additional comments are ENIG: � More expensive than OSPs and HASL. � Much flatter surface than HASL, similar to OSP

Hi, What is the different between Electroless Nickel / Immersion Gold (ENIG) and Immersion Au. Are they refer to the same finishing? We has been using the Gold thickness (0.00005 - 0.00013mm) , nicket (0.0025mm) for all Gold finishing brd (Immersio

Does anyone have a quick reminder for a PCB with immersion gold surface finnish going through a reflow profile: Which of the following statements is more correct? A: In order to minimize gold in the intermetallics of the solder joint, the board temp

We are experiencing the same problem. We just spent $1,200 to figure out that the "black stuff" is a Nickel Oxide. I am going to look into the profile end of this problem. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Dave

Are the boards in question immersion gold? This could be a process problem at the board shop. If this subcontractor has done good work for you in the past it might be an outside variable causing the problem.
