PCB industry first time use OSP PCB finish

OSP PCB finish first use in history introduces.

Learn history is the best way when you don't know a new definition.
The first reason is the history have many develop processes or steps.
You can easily understand the new definition step by step.

And the second reason is the history away simpler than new definition.
The history is just part of the definition,Like our shared new definition today.
OSP PCB finish history looks like very very simple.

But simple history develops process didn't mean it unimportant.
If you have read our HTD circuits article before.
You may know the surface finishes is also named surface texture.
Surface texture is one of the important factors that control friction and transfer layer formation during sliding.
So the surface finishes also an important factor for the PCB assembly.

So far the definition, OSP PCB history introduces.
Most guys' interest in first time uses OSP technological in history.
OSP's have been around since the 1970's.
That time most PCB boards didn’t have an OSP surface finish.
It is widely believed that IBM was the first major corporation to give this finish credibility.

One of the reason until 1970's appear OSP technology is the thickness.
Surface finishes performance is depend on the surface thickness.
The thickness of the OSP finish is almost immeasurable (angstroms).
So there were many problems must to solve.

And the second difficulty of the surface finishes is the storage time.
The original formulas had a short shelf life of 3-6 months and could only withstand one or two heat cycles.
So the application area is limited by the shelf life.
