This article describes surface finishes which are the most common and well-established at present time at the assembly operations of electronic products. The process of further improvement of these finishes is continuing, and actively develops unlike their less common counterparts - different finishes based on palladium and galvanically deposited NiSn and SnAg finishes. Outside of the scope of this article remain important issues, such as a detailed examination of a number of lead-free coatings and methods for solderability testing, measuring the surface resistance of the coating and the shear strength of solder joints in compliance with international standards. These issues will be covered in future articles on these subjects.References
