OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative)<br />

OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative) or anti-tarnish preserves the copper<br />

surface from oxidation by applying a very thin protective layer of material over<br />

the exposed copper usually using a conveyorized process.<br />

It uses a water-based organic compound that selectively bonds to copper and<br />

provides an organometallic layer that protects the copper prior to soldering. It’s<br />

also extremely green environmentally in comparison with the other common<br />

lead-free finishes, which suffer from either being more toxic or substantially<br />

higher energy consumption.<br />
