Thanks for all the answers. I should clarify that the problem was found to be on the SMT LED gold plating, instead of PCB gold plating. We had confirmed this problem by running some DOE experiments and some reliability testings. We had decided to d

There's a lots comparisons like this on the web. Here's one: Westwood Associates said on 8/12/2003: ||HASL||OSP||ENIG||Pd||Tin||Silver Flat||no||yes||yes||yes||yes||yes Solderjoint||Cu-Sn||Cu-Sn||Ni-Sn||Ni-Sn||Cu-Sn||Cu-Sn Contact||E-test, ICT||no|

You are on the right track Ismir. Essentially however, as the programmer of the machine, I am the one that creates the PCB with the errors to benchmark the settings for the machine. No secret lab though! :-) Easy enough for most any AOI machine to

For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of SMT that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatical

First, responding to your question � Several things on copper dissolution in solder are: * A 50um copper wire will dissolve in 60Sn / 40Pb solder at: - 200�C solder in 55 seconds; - 250�C solder in 20 seconds; - 300�C solder in 5 seconds; - 350�C so

You should ask yourself a bunch of questions before you consider going down this path. The first being where are the bottlenecks in your existing line and is there anything you can do to eliminate or decrease there bottleneckness (made up word). I

just out of curiousity, why the special nitrogen cabinet concerns for gold plated flex PCB? common "myth/fact" is gold is an "inert" coating layer that is not going to react with room environment conditions *that much?*. Am learning here, so would ap
