Steve,
This is crazy, unless you have developed a bad reputation for producing
Black Pad, which I doubt.  

If you want to see one of the Dage testers they are talking about, come
see me.

Why not just take some panels and dissolve off the gold with potassium
thiocyanate and see what the nickel looks like?

Good Morning to All,

I have a customer who has asked me to do an on-going test for black pad.
The
test would require me to solder wires onto 624 BGA pads and then pull on
the
wires to determine if there is black pad . They have given me no
criteria in
terms of pull strength or what constitutes pass/fail. I obviously need
some
kind of pull tester to do this. Has anyone done anything similar? Any
thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Regards Steve Kelly
