Electronic Product Finishing

  1. Cleaning Process
    • Removes flux residues and contaminants.
    • Prepares the board for surface finishing.
  2. Surface Finishing
    • Protects copper traces.
    • Ensures solderability and performance.
    • Common finishes:
      • HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling)
      • ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold)
      • OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative)
      • Immersion Tin/Silver
  3. Silkscreen Printing
    • Prints text, labels, component IDs.
    • Uses non conductive ink.
  4. Solder Mask application
    • Protects copper from oxidation and solder bridging.
    • Usually green but other colors are also used
  5. Testing and inspection
    • Visual Inspection
    • AOI (Automated optical inspection)
    • ICT (In-Circuit Testing)
    • Flying Probe and Functional Testing
