nadjadequbed@mastodon.chaosfield.atJun 29, 2026, 10:15 PM@cccpresser @cnlohr true true. Couldn't give a definite answer without a lot more information. Process costs like that are hard to put an exact number to ^^
Senilsenil@gts.social.senil.meJun 30, 2026, 5:31 AM@cccpresser @dequbed @cnlohr ENIG layers are like, atoms-worth of gold, it's barely anything at all.
IIRC it's mostly just the added process headache of doing it compared to HASL, which is much simpler in comparison (and uses leaded solder most of the time unless you outright request lead-free HASL which... why are you doing that instead of ENIG).
cnlohrcnlohr@chaos.socialJun 30, 2026, 5:34 AM@senil I probably could/should have used lead-free HASL, even though I normally use leaded HASL, I figure lots of people will be putting their fingers all over this one.
