Hi, i'm facing solder mask peel off but limited to the solder defined pad only(opening area). no peel off on the other area and it happened on electroless nickel immersion gold finishing only. for other finishing is not affected. kindly advise if you

5uin. Your nickel thickness is fine. Although if you wanted to trade costs, consider giving-up nickel to 150uin thickness, while increasing the gold thickness. Gold over electroless nickel creates brittle joints because of phosphorous in the nicke

| Has anyone had experience with placing BGA on gold plated boards. I thought I read a while ago there was a problem with embrittlment causing cracked joints. If anyone has experience with this your feedback would be great. | Mike There has been a

Josh, You can not check the bare boards for black pad unless you remove the gold plating. Like Robin said black pad is nickel oxidation/corrosion and a result from bad electroless nickel plating bath control. The only preventative action you take is

As a manufacturer, I prefer plated nickel gold, electroless nickel immersion gold, immersion silver and palladium. These surface finishes are the best options to replace leaded surface finishes. These surface finishes can withstand higher temperature

Anyone using ENEPIG electroless nickel electroless palladium immersion gold? Am currently using selectively plated gold 25 micro inches in combo SMT/COB gold ball bonded product. Gold cost has increased over the years. Palladium cost is much lower

Russ, We also use 'immersion silver' and have not had any impact on our processes. In fact there are a number of benefits i.e very flat pads (as good as electroless nickel/immersion gold but much cheaper and less unfriendly to the environment), good

Dave, I am interested in a amine hydrochloride activated flux. Can you give suggestions on readily available fluxes that you have used that have strong deoxidization properties. I am looking at something that could be used in a pinch when the stan
