Since Maurice brought up the shelf life issue of Cu bard boards with OSP
finish, I'd like to add another similar topic to the discussion. That is
- What is the shelf life of electroless Ni / immersion Au surface finish?
And what is the appropriate storage environment? Due to the advancement
of PCB new surface finishes, a discussion like this will help to promote
the understanding of their impact on solderability and reliability of
end-product.
To Maurice: In August 1995 edition of Electronic Packaging & Production,
there is a paper titled as Alternatives to HASL: A User's Guide For
Surface Finish. OSP is said to have 12 month shelf life with some process
dependency. It is a very good reference to have.
