I hope that someone can provide me, off-line if required, their experiences with it, be it positive or negative. Do I have to change my process? thermal profile, solderpaste, flux, etc Here are the selling points: Very flat finish, great for QFPs, MBGAs, 402 packages. No nickel therefore, no embrittlement or black pad issues. Ay feedback is appreciated.
