Has anyone had any experience using Lead-free solder paste on a Flash gold
finish? We're currently having some solder wetting issues with lead-free on
flash gold where some of the pads on the boards exhibit complete lack of any
wetting. It almost looks like what you get when you reflow solder paste on
a ceramic substrate, where the solder just balls up. Is this an inherent
problem with flash gold or do I have some kind of abnormal processing issue
at the board vendor?
Thanks in advance.
