Hello all, Have been looking for some kind of spec for HASL thickness and uniformity. Having problems with small to fine pitch parts where HASL is causing problems. Only reference I can find so far is in 2221 where it says HASL is checked not by mechanical thickness, but by the ability to solder per JSTD003. 003 only talks about being able to solder - not about variability of HASL causing problems. My SMT people are giving me a hassle about the HASL...... Any suggestions?? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
