How thick was the Gold on these boards? We have some boards with soldering
problems in house which on surface pads have 10-15 micro-inches of
gold.There was also seen balls microscopic
balls of gold lining the top of PTHs.

Subject: Re: [TN] Ag on Ni - effect of baking


Hi Richard,

I recently had some solderability problems with Ni/Au boards, where the
boardsuppliers told us we had the problems because of baking or because of a
few days storage time between subsequent soldering steps.
But never could they show me any supporting evidence for baking being such a
bad thing for this type of board. From some helpfull Technetters (people who
I consider much more knowledgable than the average fabs-salesman dealing
with a complaint) I learned that if a Ni/Au board solders badly because of
baking, there is definitely a problem with the board.

Kind Regards,

Hi folks,
Sorry, I wasn't feeling well yesterday and did not explan myself at all -
the
reason I asked about baking is that we reflowed one side of a surface mount
board
(gold on nickel); we then stored it in a 45'C oven as we were expecting the
remaining parts to arrive for this very urgent job. They unexpectedly took a
week.
They even more unexpectedly didn't want to reflow properly when we tried
reflowing.
I suggested "passivation" as something for the person who brought me the
problem to
think about, though I must confess that being an industrial placement
student, I am
not best equiped to make that kind of judgement. As I try to follow many of
your TN
discussions, and occasionally add when I feel able, I was sure you'd be able
to
give better reasons as to the cause and suggestions for either prevention or
cure.

Thanks and Regards,

Richard Tilbrook

Hi technetters,
I'm hoping to find out a bit more about the effect of baking (at 45 deg. C)
on
boards with gold on nickel.
I would be grateful for any info on the sibject, including times,
temperatures and
effects, such as passivation.

Thanks,

Richard TIlbrook
