An average thickness of HASL can be acquired by mapping several pads and
even the annular ring of a PTH. I believe it's the average HASK
thickness that is of concern.

Bob,
Right or wrong, HASL is a "coverage and solderable" finish. Unless
you're Rockwell Collins you won't be able to enforce the thickness (poor
RCPC).
Solderable HASL isn't necessarily measurable in cross section. It
depends upon how flat the mount preparation is-- and it's hard to use
the XRF where the HASL usually gets thin (like the knees of a PTH).
Solderability (ideally including wetting balance) is your best bet.

Dave,
Thanks you.
Any quick easy way for a lowly engineer to measure this thickness? Is
it obvious by eye and a simple lens or optical scope? Flatness is not an
issue.
Has anyone seen photos of Bad HASL that I can use for reference?
Thanks,
Bob Kondner

Hi Bob - we typically require 900 +/- 300 uinches for HASL thickness.
Good solderability life and reasonable flatness at those values.

Re: [TN] solder fracture solderable?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is involved to do a quick verification of HASL
solder coating thickness?
Any number on minimal coating required to prevent under metal
oxidation?
Thanks,
Bob Kondner

Blair,
Q1: How do those of us who purchase and use ENIG boards know that we are
getting good product? First, we clearly provide our requirements to our
board suppliers. Second, we inspect panels and coupons per IPC-6012. At
time, we would perform XRF analysis to confirm the thickness of the gold
and nickel layers.
Q2: Continual auditing of the supplier? We have performed off-site
(Incoming Inspection) and on-site audits of our suppliers.
Q3; SPC data for each shipment? While we don't require it, we have
access to their SPC data if there is a problem with the shipment.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

If you find a reliable source, how do you know they stay reliable? Or do
you
find a shipment comes in one day and you build a hundred boards with
high
failure rate?
