– Basics in soldering, making a reliable solder joint
– Solder surface HASL, Immersion Sn, Immersion Ag, OSP, production process, properties, applications and IPC specification
– Q&A
– Solder alloys, composition, properties and application
– Solder surface, ENIG, Flash gold, ENEPIG including Hard Gold, production process, properties, applications and IPC specification

It was also explained what effect a pcb finish has in making a reliable solder joint and how these finishes relate to relevant IPC standards. This was followed by a more in-depth look at what effect a pcb finish has on solder bath management. The closing was taken up by Ronny Daniëls, Cobar & Erwin Lemmens, AQC.
