                                Hi Richard!

                                We have a few boards that call out that too. From my point of
                                view, as far as appearance, it looks the same as HASL.

                                I've tried to think why Fused tin/lead would be called out instead
                                of HASL, and my only guess is that someone didn't want the boards
                                to be themally shocked by the HASL process. I might also add these
                                were on 61-20 layer VME cards where everything was SMT, and the
                                only PTH was press-fit connectors...so the boards didn't even see wave
                                solder.

                                Kind regards,

        Subject:        [TN] Fused tin lead plating versus HASL	


                                Hi, folks
                                I have a pwb fab drawing that calls out fused tin-lead plating or solder
                                coating. I know that the solder coating is HASL, but what is fused
                                tin/lead? My understanding is that it is a tin/lead coating that is
                                applied to the bare pwb using a reflow oven process. Does this provide a
                                flat surface of tin/lead? If my only choice of finish is tin/lead, which
                                process is better in terms of flatness and solderability? I have a
                                fine-pitch BGA that is going to be assembled on this pwb.
