Hi All, We are in the process of converting from RMA solder paste to no-clean process across the shop. This will allow me to carry my semi-aqueous cleaner out of the building and set it ablaze using the terpenes as the fire water. Then I can go ab

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

| | | My guess would be trapped flux continuing to be active after soldering. Is the tarnish there immediately after exiting the machine? Do you remove the mask and wash right away? If the solder is reflowing under the mask on the component side

Hi Murray! Justin pretty much summed things up...covered all the points. So I'm just gonna give you my preference of what I like other than HASL finish. Electroless Nickle/Immersion Gold...nice flat pads...hmmmmmmm, Steve likes flat pads. OSP's hav

Hi dave, Only back in the forum today to see your query so here goes (1) VIA ,PTH holes -- we found that because the amount of gold being plated is generally less that the amount of HASL that holes can be physically wider. This then (pacticularly o
