ENIG PCB uses electroless nickel immersion gold technology

Chemical nickel-gold plated boards involve depositing a nickel layer followed by a gold layer on the PCB surface through chemical processes. This enhances the PCB’s durability, solderability, and reliability.

Description

Chemical Nickel Gold Plated Boards Overview

Chemical Nickel Gold Plated Boards represent a surface treatment process commonly employed for printed circuit boards (PCBs) in high-end electronic products. The process involves chemically plating a layer of nickel (Ni) onto the copper surface of the PCB, followed by depositing a thin layer of gold (Au) onto the nickel layer.

Key Features of ENIG PCB

  • Excellent Solderability: Features a smooth, flat surface suitable for fine-pitch component soldering.
  • Strong Oxidation Resistance: The gold layer protects underlying nickel and copper from oxidation and corrosion.
  • Superior Electrical Performance: Suitable for high-speed, high-frequency signal transmission.
  • High Durability: Ideal for interfaces requiring frequent insertion/removal, such as gold fingers.

Application Areas of Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold Printed Circuit Board

  • High-end computer motherboards and servers.
  • Communication equipment.
  • High-reliability electronics like storage devices and graphics cards.
  • Gold fingers, BGAs, connectors, and similar components.
