| Hi, | There has been a lot of disputes in our company | about changing present HASL to another Finishing | which can provide more flatter pad surface in fine | pitch applications. ( perhaps Ni/Au, OSP ) | The target is to reduce solder defects, t

Dave, I confess I was a tad too general and a bit too extreme describing the way ALL solder joints look on palladium coated leads. I should been more specific about the "pillow-effect". I've seen it regularly with palladium coated leads on small SOT

Regardless of the technique used for the mounting pad shape or definition, isolation of the plated through hole [PTH] from the mounting pad is important. If the PTH is contained within the mounting pad, solder will wick down the PTH. The amount of

You are correct. The gold dissolves in the solder. The gold is meant to protect the nickel from oxidizing, so that you can solder to the nickel. Obviously that didn�t work as planned. Your background information is very sparse. Two things come
