PCB surface treatment
What is the shelf life and workshop lifespan of PCBs with different surface treatments

Surface Treatment Storage conditions and shelf life (from production date) Storage conditions and workshop lifespan after unpacking
  Storage situation quality guarantee period Storage situation Workshop Life
immersion silver Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution 6 months Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution ≤ 48 hours
(OSP) Organic Solderability Protective Agent Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution 6 months Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution ≤ 24 hours
ENIG,ENEPIG, gold-plating Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution 12 months Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution ≤ 24 hours
Tin immersion Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution 6 months Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution ≤ 24 hours
(HASL) Hot air soldering and leveling machine Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution 12 months Temperature ≤ 27 ℃, humidity ≤ 60%, no acid, alkali or organic solution ≤ 24 hours

Attention: For HDI boards, if the storage time exceeds three months but is less than six months, the PCB needs to be baked before production and assembled within 8 hours

Silver immersed PCB baking temperature 120 ± 5 ℃, 2 hours, stacking height ≤ 2.5cm;

Whole board nickel gold PCB baking temperature: 120 ± 5 ℃, 2-4 hours, stacking height ≤ 2.5cm;

The baking temperature for OSP surface treatment and selective OSP surface treatment PCB is 120 ± 5 ℃, 2 hours, and the stacking height is ≤ 2.5cm.

The oven must be kept clean and free of volatile gases such as corrosive chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
