Thank you so much again davef for your new reply. This past weekend I was looking for more information regarding this subject, but, as you stated there is no information about thioruea concerns during assembly soldering operations, mainly focused in

Per our staff here at ACI......... Higher Temperatures maybe necessary to achieve good solder process results. The alloy formed when HASL coating protects the copper is the same as that when OSP provide protection. Temperatures may be increased to im

We currently use HASL on all of our boards and I would like to move to something else. I have sampled some boards with Entek OSP and I loved it, the problem is we have plated mounting holes on just about every board we make. Does anyone have inform

Where I'm located, we call it OCC. By any other name would it smell/stink as sweet? I need to know, though it's been overworked, who has experience with OSP and its compatibility with water and IPA no-clean, VOC no-clean, and device adhesives (possi

| We are investigating alternatives to HASL finishes for more dense PWBs. OSP is not a good choice because of low solid flux and possibly long shelf life. Immersion gold is expensive and so far has been more difficult to wave solder. Has anyone ha

Could be. Bottom line is my frustration is high with ENIG. It has it's merits, but if it's not done right, it'll bite you in the butt. Too many other choices to keep this frustration around. I have never used OSP. I'm requesting 200 boards from my b

A lot of this depends on the initial quality of the OSP. I have had boards that aren't any good being stored air tight for one day. While believe it or not, I recently used boards that were opened and sat for 1 1/2 years and we built them with no pr

This issue is not "testability of OSP board". It is "testability of nc flux residue". Kester [or some other flux suppler] can probably recommend a flux residue that is more probeable. We have talked about the problems with probes getting gummed-up
