KappaTinning Compound is a dry mixture of pure powdered Tin and flux specifically designed for pre-tinning cast Iron, Steel, Bronze and Copper bearing shells. A one pound container of KappaTinning Compound contains about twice as much Tin and goes fu

as the title says, should gold pads be pre-tinned, and are there any issues with soldering to gold pads?

I am having a problem remembering what temp to pretin components at. This is for SN63. I thought I used 450F, but this company says 500.

Curious, but thoughts are: * Your pretinning pot is loaded with gold that has been removed from lead over a period of time * Your failed solder connections are caused by something else other that gold intermetallics * Your tinning process is undiscip

I look for specification for degolding - pretinning for SMT and through hole parts (in the military sector) . I found IPC JSTD 001 and some ECSS ...08 but without visual real criterias on the product. Thanks for your inputs .

If there is a way to pre-tin the parts, that might help in forming better joint with gold.

Try to pre-tin the part. This should give you a lot of answers.

We're having a lot of problems with failed solder joints to gold-plated MOSFET leads. Gold plate thickness spec is 60uin, but we've seen as much as 200uin in cross-section, so we're obviously concerned about gold embrittlement issues. Pre-tinning w

Hello All, I recently had a case of excessive tin coming from a solder pot sample. The solder is SN63 but the results of testing had a 64.97% for Sn. The J-STD-001 spec is 61.5% to 64.5%. The pot is used to pre-tin wires which will then be solder

Dave, anything besides gold embrittlement to be concerned about if that concentration is exceeded? Never tried the stuff.
