Do you know what ENEPIG is in PCB?

 What is ENEPIG?ENEPIG-Electroless Nickel Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold is a surface finish for Printed Circuit Boards.ENEPIG works well with lead free and conventional eutectic solder alloys.This is the best way for gold wire bonding. Advantages for ENEPIG:

  • “Black Nickel” free – no possibility of grain boundary corrosion of nickel surface by immersion gold
  • Palladium acts as an additional barrier layer to further reduce copper diffusion to surface, thus ensuring good solderability
  • Palladium completely dissolves into solder, without leaving an excessively high P% rich interface, exposing an oxide-free nickel surface allowing reliable formation of Ni/Sn intermetallic
  • Withstands multiple lead-free reflow soldering cycles
  • Demonstrates excellent gold wire bondability
  • Process costs substantially lower than electrolytic nickel gold or electroless nickel electroless gold
​Many University customers need ENEPIG to do research. see an example from CMU.
