We have tested SN100C for LF wave soldering process since August'05 and currently start production for a month ago. Initially we use SAC305, but due to the shrinkage cavities (micro-crack) we changeover to SN100C. In summary, SN100C did perform well

Hi, does anyone have any experience with common wave soldering defects using SAC305 alloy?.....i am finding a lot of what seem to be shrinkage cracks on the bottom side surface of the soldered components.....there is also a lot of directional cooling

We bought the lead free pots for the Ersa machine and change back and forth. We had a lot of problems running SAC305 in the Ersa. It seems to create a ton of dross and you need to frequently clean and flux the nozzles. I would really like some feed

has anyone used or trialed the SACX from Alpha, > from reportes and studies carried out it seems > that its a go between SAC305 and SN100. Same question re: Kester's K100. Apparently it's a new .6% Cu alloy that they haven't yet begun to market h

Does anyone have experience with using Pb-free SAC105? We are looking at the pro's/con's compared to a SAC305 process for a SMT operation. I have read it has a higher melting temperature. Specifically, we are concerned about a product we are developi

Hi, I would be interested to hear the outcome of your trials! Although, if mechanical stress is of concern, I would look at what is causing the stress and tackle that. I would suspect that any stress great enough to fracture sAC305 joint would do t

250 tons/month) and, as it has been stated here, many customers have switched from SAC305 to SN100C but we are not aware of any customer who has switched from SN100C to SAC305. As the inventor of SN100C states, �once a customer touches the SN100C, he

I've seen many comments in many threads about the positive attributes of SN100C (apparently mostly by salesmen). However, I have a concern for the higher temps that will be encountered when using SN100C (or Sn/Cu) vs. SAC305 (vs. 63/37), specifica

Hi, So that's really important to have a specific flux for lead free? We are looking at changing to SN100C after reading this thread and other stuff we have found, so can anyone recommend the best no clean flux for that metal? Do you need differen

Does anyone have Data/Comparisons showing which component plating is better, Nickle plating vs. Sucoplate for SMT production? These components would be reflowed with a SAC305 alloy
