We are experiencing poor wetting on various components placed on a PCB with En-Tek coating. Is anyone else experiencing simular problems ? We have the following questions: 1. How can the thickness of the En-tek coating be measured? 2. Is En-tek vol

I have thousands of old datecode PCBs which has an Entek and HASL finished. Entek PCBs are about 6 � 1.5 years old and HASL boards are at 1 - 2 years old. To make it worse, some of them came in the loose form, no vacuum seal� nothin�. As for the HA

So, why can't you clean misprints on Entek boards? Entek: Cheap, flat, OK shelf life, not without process and fabrication issues. Your Entek organic solderability protection is probably Entek Plus [CU106A] made by Ethone OMI. Consider getting a co

Anyone using Entek OM final finish to replace HASL & ENIG?

Entek or Protecto? I've hear Kester's Protecto is a very good OSP that may be more assembly process-friendly than Entek. Is anyone using this? Do you have any feedback on its solderability or availablity compared to Entek? Any non-commerical input w

Entek is Enthone's OSP [organic solderability protection]. It is widely used in the PCB fabrication business. Imidazole (Via Systems) is good, but is not as widely available. Search the fine SMTnet Archive on: * OSP * Entek CU-56, Entek Plus CU-10

Hi, Currently my company is running entek coated boards. But whenever there is a misprint, we cannot wash the boards as it would diminish the coating. Is there anyway to clean the boards without removing the coating or is there a way to re-coat

Hello all, I am trying to get some information on ENTEK CU56. I am planning to use 310M flux on ENTEK 56 cards. It will not be a double reflow (top/bottom) followed by wave. I plan to reflow, glue/cure then wave. I am concerned about burning off the

Experts, Today I received PCB in a punctured vacuum seal bag. the Humidity indicator change the colour to pink at 60%RH mark. The brd finish is Entek. Earlier our intention to get the board vacuum seal is because we want to ensure that the is no fr

Thank Dave, your information was really helpful. Now that I have another few thousands of old datecode PCBs which has an Entek and HASL finished. Entek PCBs are about 6 � 1.5 years old and HASL boards are at 1 - 2 years old. To make it worse, s
