Electronic Product Finishing
- Cleaning Process
- Removes flux residues and contaminants.
- Prepares the board for surface finishing.
- 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
- Silkscreen Printing
- Prints text, labels, component IDs.
- Uses non conductive ink.
- Solder Mask application
- Protects copper from oxidation and solder bridging.
- Usually green but other colors are also used
- Testing and inspection
- Visual Inspection
- AOI (Automated optical inspection)
- ICT (In-Circuit Testing)
- Flying Probe and Functional Testing
