What is the Difference between ENEPIG and Plating Gold

      ENEPIG and plating gold are relatively special surface treatment technologies in PCB. They all have the characteristics of good welding performance, good reliability and long shelf life, so do you know the difference between the two?

 

 

 

ENEPIG is to deposit a layer of nickel, palladium and gold on the surface of PCB by chemical method.

 

 

Plating Gold is to attach gold particles to the PCB board by electroplating. Because of its strong adhesion, it is also called hard gold. This technology can improve the hardness and wear resistance of PCB, and can effectively prevent the diffusion of copper and other metals.

 

 

The Difference between ENEPIG and Plating Gold

 

1. ENEPIG technology does not require lead design, and the design limitations are small. Plating gold technology must have a lead design, which has certain limitations, because the reaction can only occur after power-on.

 

 

2. ENEPIG technology can be plated with nickel-palladium-gold on the metal layer without conducting electricity; plating gold technology must be energized through the lead to make the product conductive, so that nickel-gold can be plated on the metal layer.

 

 

3. The ENEPIG process is relatively complicated, and the consumption of the potion is fast and difficult to manage. The plating gold process is simple and easy to control.

 

 

4. The ENEPIG technology has high operating temperature and the long time. The plating gold technology operation temperature is low and the time is short.

 

 

5. ENEPIG coating has good thickness uniformity; The thickness uniformity of plating gold coating is poor, and the requirements for equipment are high.

 

 

6. ENEPIG technology can design smaller PIN spacing and increase wiring density, such as higher pixel camera module products; Plating gold technology has the characteristics of high ductility, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is often used for pluggable fingers.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the OSP Technology

图片
     With the continuous development of the electronics industry, there are more and more PCB surface treatment technologies, and each technology has its own merits. OSP is a commonly used surface treatment technology process, what are its advantages and disadvantages?       Compared with other surface treatment technologies, OSP is somewhat different.  It uses a chemical method to produce an organic film on the clean bare copper surface, which acts as a barrier between the copper and the air.   OSP is organic, not  metallic,   and its cost is lower than most surface treatment technologies.     Advantages: With this organic film, it can resist the attack of moisture in the air without being oxidized before welding,  can withstand the test of high temperature, maintain good activity, and has a good tinning ability.  This layer of organic film will not cause damage to the sheet material. It can be easily removed by the solder resist during soldering. It can solder the copper wire and the

What PCBA Problems Can AOI Inspect

图片
        With the development of science and technology, the volume of PCBA is getting smaller and more precise, and some defects in processing cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, so AOI has appeared.  So what PCBA problems can AOI inspect?   The working principle of AOI is to first collect and input parameters such as images, component positions, solder joints and other parameters of the good-quality board.   During the inspection, the instrument automatically scans the circuit board and automatically captures the image, and then compares the collected data with the pre-entered parameters to determine whether the characteristics of solder joints, components and other aspects are consistent. If the data is inconsistent, the d efect  will be flagged through the display for maintenance personnel to repair.     AOI is mainly used to inspect solder paste printing, component placement and soldering. For example: too much or too little solder paste,   solder paste printing offset;  co

The Role of Shield Cover in PCB Design

图片
  SHENZHEN HOYOGO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. specializes in providing overall PCBA electronics manufacturing services, and can also provide customers with a full range of value-added services: including SMT assembly, PCB program development, schematic design, PCB layout and routing, Bom list matching, component procurement and other services. Do you know the role of shield cover in PCB design? What is a Shield Cover? The shield cover is an alloy metal cover, which is a vital component to reduce the radiation of the display. It is used in MID or VR products, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference between modules. It is common in the isolation between the main control function module and the power module and the Wifi module. The  P urpose of  S hield  Cover   C lip Generally, there are products that use wireless communication, and shield frames are usually designed on the circuit board to isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, to make the shield frame fun
