Do you have any pointers concerning the oven setup and profile if you are soldering a module with bottom connections and gold pads to a pwb with an OSB finish? The solder paste is SnPb, no-clean. The paste mfgr. recommended profile produces voiding

We use ENIG whenever possible, to the extent that we will try to talk customers out of Pb-free HASL until our keyboard punching fingers bleed. It's much more solderable than HASL and it's flat.

As davef states above, you would like to have flat surfaces below 25 mil. We are a contract manufacturer also and we've done thousands of 15 mil QFP's with HASL finish with no problems. Your success will depend on quality of PCB supplier providing th

Are these 2 surface finishes the same? If not what is the difference? Thanks
