What is the proper amount of solder that should be on an SM Component pad after HASL. IPC calls for "Coverage and Solderable" but what does this really mean. My curiosity is sparked by our entry into the fine pitch arena and our vendors ability to give production what they need. I have gone back to our internal production people and requested that they supply us with their requirements.
