From what I was told, gold flash normally refers to 10 microinches of gold.

Flash gold is just thin electrolytic gold plating over electroless nickel or electrolytic nickel. Flash gold plating ... * Less than 3 microinch thick will be porous and take solder poorly * Greater than 10 microinch thick will cause brittle solder c

What is the state of the art in electroplated gold flash a a surface finish; thickness and tolerance limits?

The answer, as stated above, is 3 microinch's however, it is equaly important, if not more important, to understand that the only function of the gold is to protect the surfaces beneath it. Only enough gold to cover the nickel beneath it should be u

Hi, Does anybody know what is the minimum gold plating thickness on the PCB goldfinger required by the industrial specifications - IPC, Bellcore, etc. Where can I find the information? Appreciate for the help! Thanks, Tony

ok I agree there has been a confusion with terminology When you say electrolytic soft gold with a minimum thickness of 5-8 of Au, is there a standard that you spec this from ?

First, we didn't say "electrolytic soft gold with a minimum thickness of 5-8 of Au". We said, "'electrolytic soft gold' thickness 5 to 8uin". FOCUS. ;-) Second, we're unaware of an industry accepted specification that you can reference. IPC-2221

you need to reduce your time above liquidus to as low as you can...maybe 10~30 secs to allow the solder to wet to the gold but minimise the amount of gold that is dissolved into the solder joint...try also reducing the peak temp to 200~210 deg C. Thi

| I'm reviewing my board fab spec. It calls for a minimum SnPb thickness of 50 microinches on HASL PWB's. I've looked at other specs that call out anything from 30 to 80 microinches, and others that just say the copper pad must be covered and solde
