نظرة عامة على المنتج: What Is an OSP Antioxidant PCB Circuit Board?
AnOSP antioxidant PCB circuit board usesOrganic Solderability Preservatives (OSP) as its copper surface finish. This process deposits an ultra-thin organic film on bare copper surfaces. The film prevents oxidation during storage and assembly. During soldering, the flux quickly dissolves the OSP film. This exposes clean copper for reliable solder joints.
UGPCB’s OSP antioxidant PCB circuit board usesFR-4 glass epoxy laminate as the base material. It features 35μm (1 أوقية) احباط النحاس, 1.6mm board thickness, and dimensions of 68.36 × 34.6mm. The minimum finished hole size is 0.45mm. Minimum trace width is 0.15mm and minimum spacing is 0.20mm. The product fully complies with IPC-6012E (rigid printed board qualification and performance) and IPC-4555 (high-temperature OSP performance) specifications.
هذاdouble-sided OSP PCB serves consumer electronics, معدات الاتصالات, and industrial controls. It works best where cost sensitivity and surface flatness matter most.

Key Technical Parameters Explained
الركيزة: FR-4 Epoxy Glass Fabric
FR-4 is the most common rigid substrate in the ثنائي الفينيل متعدد الكلور صناعة. “FR” means flame-retardant. “4” indicates epoxy resin combined with glass fabric that meetsأول 94 V-0 flammability standards. أول 94 V-0 requires vertical specimens to self-extinguish within10 ثواني after two 10-second flame applications. No flaming drips may ignite cotton.
درجة حرارة التحول الزجاجي (تيراغرام) measures heat resistance. Standard FR-4 Tg ranges from 130–140°C. Mid-Tg FR-4 reaches 150–160°C. High-Tg FR-4 exceeds 170°C. This product uses standard FR-4 with Tg ≥ 130°C (IPC-4101/21 compliant). This meets the thermal shock demands of reflow soldering (peak temperatures 240–260°C).
Copper Foil Thickness: 35ميكرومتر (1 أوقية)
Copper thickness determines current-carrying capacity. This product uses35ميكرومتر احباط النحاس, known as1 oz copper (1 oz/ft² ≈ 35μm). According to IPC-2221, 1 oz copper at 10°C temperature rise carries approximately:
- 0.15مم (6 ميل) trace width: 0.5–0.7A
- 0.20مم (8 ميل) trace width: 0.8–1.0A
The 35μm copper thickness is the most common standard for double-sided PCBs. It balances cost, current capacity, and manufacturing yield.
Board Dimensions: 68.36 × 34.6mm
The finished board measures68.36mm × 34.6mm. This compact size suits tight electronic modules. Small PCBs demand tighter precision—dimensional tolerances typically stay within ±0.15mm (فئة IPC-6012 2).
Minimum Finished Hole Size: 0.45مم
0.45مم is the minimum plated through-hole (PTH) diameter. This hole size is a standard in the industry. It ensures reliable plating (aspect ratio approximately 3.6:1 with 1.6mm board thickness). The hole size accommodates most DIP components and standard SMT pad designs.
PCB Thickness: 1.6مم
1.6مم is the most common board thickness in PCB manufacturing. It provides excellent mechanical strength and flexural rigidity. It matches standard connectors and sockets perfectly.
Trace Width and Spacing: 0.15مم / 0.20مم
This product offersminimum trace width of 0.15mm (عن 6 mils) وminimum spacing of 0.20mm (عن 8 mils). According to IPC classification, these dimensions fall intoفصل 2 (dedicated service electronic products). This precision meets most medium-density PCB designs, including MCU control boards, power management modules, and interface converter boards.
How OSP Antioxidant Process Works
The OSP process grows an ultra-thin organic film on clean bare copper throughchemical adsorption. The OSP film mainly consists ofalkyl benzimidazole compounds (azole-based). Film thickness typically ranges from0.2–0.5μm.
Protection Mechanism
The OSP film protects copper surfaces through three mechanisms:
- Physical barrier – The organic film forms a dense molecular layer. It blocks oxygen and moisture from contacting the copper surface.
- Chemical adsorption – Active groups in OSP molecules bond chemically with copper atoms. This creates strong adhesion.
- Selective protection – The OSP film covers only copper areas. It does not affect solder mask or other non-metallic regions.
Behavior During Soldering
During SMT reflow, temperatures reach190–230°C. The flux’s active ingredients decompose and dissolve the OSP film. This exposes clean copper underneath. Solder directly contacts bare copper and formsintermetallic compounds (IMC). This creates reliable electrical connections. The OSP filmcompletely decomposes with no residue after soldering.
Key Performance Characteristics
Based on IPC-TM-650 test methods:
| Characteristic | القيمة النموذجية / Requirement | Reference Standard |

| Contact Resistance Change | ≤10% (بعد 6 months storage) | IPC-TM-650 |
OSP Antioxidant PCB Manufacturing Process
OSP antioxidant PCB manufacturing follows strict process controls. Every step affects final quality and reliability.
Front-End Processes (Substrate Preparation & Circuit Patterning)
- قطع المواد – Cut FR-4 copper-clad laminate to size
- حفر – CNC drilling with 0.45mm minimum hole size
- Electroless Copper / Electroplating – Metallize hole walls for layer-to-layer connection
- Circuit Pattern Transfer – Dry film / wet film exposure and development
- النقش – Remove unwanted copper to create 0.15mm trace / 0.20mm spacing circuitry
- Solder Mask Printing – Apply green or other colored solder mask ink
- Pre-Clean – Remove oxides and contaminants before surface finish
OSP Coating Process (Core Process)
The typical OSP coating flow:
Degreasing → Double Water Rinse → Micro-Etching → Double Water Rinse → Acid Pickling → DI Water Rinse → OSP Film Formation → Air Drying → DI Water Rinse → Final Drying
- Micro-Etching – Removes copper oxides and creates a uniform microscopically rough surface. This promotes OSP film growth.
- OSP Film Formation – Immerse the PCB in OSP chemistry (alkyl benzimidazole, organic acids, copper chloride, and deionized water). The film grows through chemical adsorption on copper surfaces.
- Film Thickness Control – Precise control is critical. Too thin means poor heat resistance. Too thick hinders flux action and solder flow.
Back-End Processes
- التوجيه – CNC routing to final dimensions
- Electrical Testing – Flying probe or fixture testing
- التفتيش النهائي – Visual inspection and film thickness sampling
- التعبئة والتغليف فراغ – Moisture-proof and oxidation-proof packaging
Product Features and Core Advantages
Excellent Surface Flatness
The OSP film is only0.2–0.5μm thick. It forms through chemical adsorption with uniform thickness and a smooth surface. This preserves the original copper foil flatness. It is ideal forfine-pitch SMT عناصر (such as 0.4mm and below pitch QFP, QFN packages).
Superior Solderability
The OSP film dissolves quickly in flux during reflow. This exposes fresh copper for reliable IMC formation. The OSP process supports boththrough-hole (تي إتش تي) وsurface-mount (سمت) soldering.
Cost-Effective
OSP uses no precious metals (ذهب, فضي, palladium). Material and processing costs are lower than ENIG, immersion silver, or immersion tin. For high-volume production like consumer electronics, OSP offers exceptional cost competitiveness.
Environmentally Compliant
OSP uses organic compounds. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium. It fully meetsبنفايات 2.0 متطلبات. Waste treatment costs and complexity are also lower than metal finishing processes.
Short Processing Time
OSP coating is simple and fast. It needs no complex plating equipment or long deposition times. Compared to ENIG (which takes hours), OSP completes surface finishing in30–60 minutes per batch. This significantly reduces lead times.

OSP Process Limitations and Mitigations
OSP offers many benefits but has inherent limitations:
- Limited Shelf Life – OSP film protects for6 شهور in ambient conditions. For best solderability, complete SMT assembly within 3 شهور.
- Moisture Sensitivity – OSP films degrade in high-temperature, high-humidity environments. Store boards at20–25°C with 40–60% relative humidity.
- Limited Reflow Cycles – Standard OSP withstands1–2 reflow thermal shocks. Multiple reflows require high-temperature OSP (IPC-4555 compliant).
- Electrical Test Challenges – The OSP film is insulating. It affects electrical test contact reliability. Test points need solder paste printing to remove the OSP layer.
Storage and Handling Recommendations
- Vacuum-sealed packaging with desiccant and humidity indicator cards
- Storage environment: temperature ≤30°C, relative humidity ≤60%
- Complete soldering within48 ساعات of opening the package
- Wear anti-static gloves during handling. Avoid bare hand contact with board surfaces.
