Plating Integrity

Electronics Forum | Fri Jun 17 10:06:13 EDT 2005 | Doug

We have had some experience with the immersion tin. The appearance can be "bright" or "dull". Don't discount the fact that it is "bright" doesn't necessarily make it HASL. Furthermore, I personally have never heard of a board manufacturer "stripping

Fiducial Recognition

We clean a good number of fiducials, mostly where HASL PCBs are used. Since the pad is not exactly flat, our SONY 1500 MKII reflects the light from what is essentially, a small 'mound'... Many times our operators use an eraser to 'dull' the finish.

Very interesting tread, many thanks to all. Matt please, now what does it mean for you? Will your custmer accept dull solder joints or will the plating be changed ? (ie. HASL, ENIG, etc) Tnks and regards GS*

Matt, Had a similar problem with HASL that wasn't fluxed properly during fab. The appearance of the HASL looked dull and/or mottled (sp?). Solder was curled under on the edges where it should have been smoothly joined to the pad. Almost like a pu

Doug: We agree that imm tin can be easily stripped and reapplied. Do you order imm tin as bright/ dull? Is bright/dull a function of who the fabricator lisences the process? Er wha? Electroplate tin can be either matt or bright. It is different

Gold versus HASL finish

Comments are: * J-STD-001 and A-610 committees have eliminated the requirement that solder joints be "bright and shiny". Certain metallizations (such as gold) can influence the solder joint surface texture, but have no impact of reliability. Reliance

Edmund, following-on from Wolfy: Back in the old days, anyone who could spell "sodder" considered "bright and shiny connections" GOOD and "dull and grainy connections" BAD. Now, "dull and grainy" connections can be either GOOD or BAD, depending on

Gold Immersion Solder Joints

What should a good gold joint look like? We've run boards for our customers that look kinda dull but seemed to wet properly and the boards fired up just nicely! Should they look nice and shiny like our HASL boards or is "a shiny joint is a good joint

Yes bright shiny joints are a myth as many people like dull joints as they are easier to inspect due to reduced reflection of light. The difference you are seeing in the joints is more likly to be a surface effect, flux or just you think its differen
