Jerry,
 
We often use slip sheets when we fab and ship pcb's with carbon ink, gold, silver, or immersion tin.
 
We use a sulfur and lint free paper, not sure who the supplier is, but it's local to the metroplex area I'm sure.
 
We only do this for the boards with finishes identified above, as a means of prevent handling, packaging, shipping damage. Of course the boards are sealed, sometimes with, sometimes without desiccant, dependant on the cust. requirements.
 
We typically don't do this for common boards (i.e. SMOBC) due to the durability of those coatings.

Subject: [TN] paper slips between stacked PWB's

Hello, TN!


Is it a good practice to put slips of paper between stacked bare boards
before shipping product in sealed poly bags?

In my experience, this is not commonly done.

Assuming it is, what types of paper are acceptable, and what types are not?
How long might it take to affect the activity of HASL metal finishes (i.e.
solderability) on new product?


regards,
