Circuit Technology Center offers precision robotic hot solder dip (RHSD) services to refinish the metallic leads of through-hole connectors. This process is most often used for tin whisker mitigation, where lead-free finishes are converted to leaded (Sn63/Pb37). RHSD is also an effective solution for removing gold plating from through-hole and radial connector terminations. Our RHSD systems are fully programmable to deliver tightly controlled processing parameters—including dip depth, dwell time, and temperature—ensuring consistent, high-quality results. All operations are performed in full compliance with GEIA-0006 standards to guarantee complete removal and replacement of the original finish. Gold mitigation procedures are executed in accordance with J-STD-001 specifications. Post-process cleaning is conducted using batch wash systems. We also provide related services such as tape and reel packaging, MSL dry bake and moisture barrier packaging, and pre- and post-process testing as required.
