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.

each 
shipment? 

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?
