We have been starting to have solderability problems with some electroless
nickel plated pwbs. Nickel has always been a challenge to solder... but we
have been successful until recently by simply doing a pumice scrub prior to
solder stenciling, and by minimizing the time through assembly and into reflow.
There have been a large number of Technet communications on Electroless Ni
and Immersion Au over the last few weeks. We are tying to learn from those
who are having similar problems.
A few topics which were not fully addressed and would be of great value are:
1. Does anyone know of a good test coupon or test method which can be used
to evaluate pwb surface solderability?
2. What role does surface finish play in solderability and will a rough
plated Ni finish have more solderability problems than a smoother finish?
Any help would be appreciated.
