Thank you Brent!

I see that engaging typing fingers before engaging brain is not a good idea!
Should have had my Starbuck's coffee before hitting the keys this AM!  I was
typing an electroless nickel question and thinking immersion gold chemisty.

What I should have asked is:
What is the typical electroless deposition thickness specified for
electroless nickel/immersion gold for SMT application?  Does this vary with
the class of board being produced; class 3 requires tighter tolerance or
some set minimum, etc.

Thank you for your input,

If this is for a final gold plating then we typically call out 50 to 150
micro inches for electroless nickel and then 3 to 8 micro inches of
immersion gold.

Regards,
Brent

Subject: [TN] Easy Thursday Question!


As we do not do manufacturing at this site, I have no technical data sheets
handy - so I need to ask a quick and easy question!  (I haven't found the
answer on supplier's websites and have a couple calls into suppliers, but
you know how long that can take to get feedback - just kidding guys, I know
everyone is busy these days)

My question is: What is the typical electroless nickel deposition thickness?
I'm thinking it's around 3-5 microns.  Is that correct?  What range is given
on the technical literature from suppliers, if any of you guys has a tech
data sheet handy?

Thank you for your help!
