Ask the plater for black pad free ENIG. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of George Milad Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 7:14 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] RoHs board surface recommendations. Do not discount ENIG. There is data available now showing that soldering to the Ni surface at the SAC alloy temperature conditions produces a very robust solder joint. There are Ni baths available now that are RoHS compliant i.e. no Cd and no PB.
