Techs,

 

I am looking for some help / guidance on how to analytically determine
the number of times the same leaded component can be replaced on a ENIG
finished board before the solder lands located on the PCB have been
degraded beyond their capability to provide a solderable class 3 surface
(.e., how many times can the ENIG finished solder lands with stand a
rework/component remove & replace).  I suspect the dissolution rates of
nickel and copper come into play however I am not sure how to approach
this issue and suspect there are some relatively straightforward
formulas out there to accomplish this task. Everyone has a different
idea and there are numerous rules of thumb discussed but I would like to
try something more analytical (without having to use a supercomputer).
Thanks again and everyone enjoy the long weekend.

 

Best Regards,

-joe
