AJ, We use all ENIG boards. After opening, any remaining boards are kept in low humidity keeping cabinet. I have never experienced a problem using this method I think the longest I have kept them this way is eighteen months. We also store any open tr

Our sympathies about the ENIG boards. B:) So, you cut the end off the barrier bag, take 200 boards, heat seal the end of the bag and restock it, build the 200 boards and ship them, right?

Mr Jarvis One experience with black pad makes you promise never to use ENIG again. It's nice that you have a supplier that has avoided that problem.

after oven bake dry the PCB, we process within 4-hrs, else need to rebake again under same baking parameter. taking a look, the exact pads with the blowholes are full ENIG pads with no via holes under the solder-intend land areas. In event there is

Hi Oswald, Shelf life with ENIG if vacuum sealed and kept in controled enviroment would be 12 to 14 months. Shelf life in shrink wrap - No recomended packaging, 6 moths. If Shelf life goes over the 12 -14 months - Baking ? I would not suggest re-b
