HASL (Hot Air
Solder Leveled)
|
Solder is
deposited on features that are not covered with
Solder Mask. Solder Thickness varies from 0.2 to
1.2 mils. This variation is due to board circuit
density, aspect ratio. Solder consists of 63%/37%
eutectic Tin/lead
|

|
OSP (Organic
Solderability Preservative)
|
A transparent
organic coating is deposited on features that are
not covered with solder mask.

ENIG
(Electrolyses Nickel/Gold)
|
Electrolyses
nickel and Electrolyses gold is deposited on
features that are not covered with Solder Mask.
Thickness for Nickel is between 80 to 150 micro
inches and Gold thickness is 3-6 micro
inches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gold
Flash
|
Electrolytic
nickel-gold deposited on solderable features.
Typically 150-200 micro inches of nickel is
deposited, and 5-10 micro inches of Hard gold. Gold
flash is applied to features after pattern Copper
plating.

Immersion
Silver
|
Silver is
deposited on features not covered with solder mask.
Thickness of silver is 4 to 20 micro inches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
White
Tin
|
Immersion tin is
deposited on features not covered with Solder mask.
Thickness is typically 30-40 micro
inches.

Carbon Ink
for
Key pad application
|
A conductive
carbon paste is applied on selective pads for
contact purposes, e.g.. Keypads of calculators,
etc.
|

|
Wire Bondable
Soft Gold
|
Electrolytic soft
gold is plated on features that require bondable
gold for wire bonding application. Depending on the
type of wire bonding used, the thickness of gold
varies from 20 to 50 micro inches. Nickel thickness
is between 150 to 250 micro inches.

Palladium |
Palladium harder than cobalt gold, is precious, and also retains the non-oxidizing property for use in electrical connector applications. Palladium electrodeposits have higher better ductility, which provides superior contact bending tolerance, lower porosity, and superior resistance to corrosion than hard gold. This makes palladium an excellent candidate for applications such as reed switches or relay contacts. When underplated with a flash of soft gold, palladium also demonstrates excellent solderability. |
