| HASL: (hot air solder leveling) is a process used to cover the Cu. Either Sn/Pb is used or Ni/Au or some other combo. In one case you create a land pad and in the other (with resin)you cover the Cu so that you only have a "trace." Is that correct s

| I am looking for some guidelines on evaluating solder paste. I am specifically interested in No-Clean Pastes, as they are a completely new ball game when it comes to slump, tack time, stencil life, tack time, etc. | Thanks for any and all help give
