I am
on the receiving end of this one, Rudy. We do not make the parts, but are
receiving them and we are wondering if this material is why we are having
solderability problems, i.e. it is not "getting out of the way" of the molten
solder front as it wets across the lead. When we take the parts and
sonicate them in IPA and then test them they do MUCH better.

Mr. Christian:
You called
sir?
You called it exactly, this juice is an OSP type
product.
When you have porous Gold plating on top of Nickle, any
exposed Nickle sets up a galvanic cell, and tends to oxidize/corrode more
quickly than if it were exposed without being in contact with Gold. This
stuff reacts with the exposed Nickle, and renders it less reactive...it is
actually a very elegant idea, because it will only react with exposed Nickle
(contrary to their website) thus the possibility of there being ANY effect on
conductivity is virtually nil.
Now, is this really an issue? Am I
missing an opportunity? I wouldn't want my fellow Techneters to have to
import this stuff from Japan...and I am always ready to assist whenever I
can.. I can already see the name....ONP BC "Organic Nickle
Protection....as suggested by Bev Christian.
