Read IPC-4553, the spec for IAg fabricated boards. It has a wealth of
good information on how to handle, package, and store IAg-finished PWBs.
Also, go to MacDermid's and Cookson's websites and look at the multitude
of information for Sterling and AlphLevel finishes. There are a lot of
good papers on the same topics.

Subject: [TN] Immersion silver handling

Good morning,

Being relatively new to the Assembly process, I was wondering if any of
you could share your thoughts on handling, cleaning, processing, etc. of
assembling PWBs with Immersion Ag surface finishes. What are some
important items to watch out for? What is considered taboo when handling
these PWBs?
What is considered a must when handling, cleaning, etc.?

Searching the net yields some excellent results and reading material,
but it's always nice to hear some things first hand and from individuals
that may deal with this every day.

I appreciate everyone's time.

Regards,
Craig Sullivan
