Organic surface protection (OSP, or organic solderability preservative) is a cost-effective alternative to metallic surface finishes for printed circuit boards. An organic layer is formed on the exposed copper areas, which protects against oxidation by oxygen. This maintains the solderability of the PCB for a defined period of time without the need for an additional […]

In Germany, industry accounts for around 31 percent of annual energy consumption. If the energy revolution is to succeed, companies must accept their responsibilities by reviewing and auditing consumption and looking for ways to optimize it. With rising energy prices, this makes sense not only ecologically, but also economically. In addition to consumption, there is
The soldering surface – also known as the end surface or PCB finish – is a thin metallic or organic layer that the PCB manufacturer applies to the copper surfaces of the component connections (solder pads). As natural copper tends to oxidize in the air, soldering the components would be difficult or impossible. The soldering
