We are currently looking into alternatives to HASL on our PWB's. Our boards contain primarily fine pitch surface mount parts with some thru-hole. The alternatives I have seen are OPC (Entek Plus CU-106A), Nickel/Gold, and Electroless Palladium. In all of the data the I have gathered on alternatives, I have yet to see a comparison between the alternatives. Does anyone have any data comparing the various alternatives or personal experience? I would appreciate any input that you may have. Thank you. Best Regards, Mike Forrester Sr. Test Engineer LeCroy Corp.
