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

Hi Dave, Yes that is correct. I had a XRF carried out on some boards that I am having solderability issues on and the report came back with 0.04um - 0.05um as the measured gold thickness. Previous batches that went through fine measured 0.07-0.11u

Hi Aj, Recommended Immersion gold thickness would be 3-5 Micro inches over 140 -200 micro inches of Nickel. Thicker Immersion gold than 5 micro inches can cause solder joint embrittlement. Gold readily dissolves in molten solder and will be present

Hi How does one distinquish between hard gold and immersion gold ? thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel what happens if the gold drops below 3" and the nickel is above 350" what are the typical failure modes associated with
