People like flat surfaces for placing and reflowing certain components, like fine pitch devices. Some board suppliers can supply HASL that is flat and well controlled from an amount of material stand-point. Unlike OSP, HASL has a wonderful shelf-li

Mat, Are you sure you should be using SnPb HASL boards if you are doing prep for lead free? If you aren't actually going to comply with RoHS then fire away. Nearly all of our assemblies are now ENIG and as any re-design comes up on a HASL board it is

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

Cuculi, I'll have to go ahead and disagree with you. Very few PCB Suppliers (if any, and if there are any, they're lying) will promise an exact thickness spec. be it Sn/Pb HASL or this fancy, schmancy Sn100c HASL balogna. After all, the HASL proce

We are having an issue with a PCB supplier. Their Tin HASL layer seems to be the problem. We have triedworking with them to correct their process. What seems to have helped is lowering their temperature of the Tin dip from 540 F to 510 F.We still ha

HI I used both of solder leveling HASL and ENIG, HASL I can recommended for biger pitch is cheaper solder leveling than ENIG but problem with that solder leveling is during the reflow process HASL isn't flat and during reflow process component move

Does anyone know what the min-max plating thickness for HASL is? Is there a specification that defines this requirement? We have had problems with PCB's that have excessive solder plating on the pads. This wreaks havok with our QFP's. Any help would

We are currently investigating alternatives to HASL for circuit boards with 20 mil pitch smt pads and below. If you have experience with this product or simular immersion tin products with respect to manufacturing or assembly I am very interested i
