Hi Paul, not to throw a wrench in here but I beleive that paople are talking about switching from SAC in wave to SN100C, NOT SACx, these are different. and should not be confused. SACx is supposed to fall somewhere in the middle of the SN100C and t

We have used the SN100C for over a year now with fanastic results. We use the SAC305 for SMT and SN100C wire exclusively. There are no problem mixing the alloys. I am also on the commitee for the NASA testing. The SN100C did out perform SAC and SnPb

HI aj, I suppose you have visited the Alphametal situ where they have plenty of information about SACX http://www.alphametals.com/main.asp For sure every one talks well about own products. I think the best judgement can be done from those who h

The most prevailent wave solder machine in small to medium UK companies is the Blundell CMS400 - every man and his dog has one. And the recommended lead free solder for these machines is..... Greg's 0.3% Silver. Quite a few of our customers use h

We had a PCB vendor provide us with SAC105 plated HASL boards. They worked fine on the first pass through reflow. The second pass was not pretty. We couldn't get much of anything to solder to the board. That may not have been the alloy, it could

Hello Greg, Glad to hear your success with the SACX0307 copy. By the way, does the P mean it contains phosphorus? Does yours also contain bismuth like the SACX0307 (according to their plumbing solder patent for X0307)? In response to your discussion

Not sure about Sn/Cu/Ni large market share here in Europe as we have a large part of the UK market with SACP0307 alloy 0.3%Ag introduced over Two years ago Also worked against Sn/Cu/Ni alloy with large TV Co and they went with 0.3%Ag due to reliabili

I am also getting ready to order solder for my new wave. Based on what I have read (here and other places) people prefer Sn100c for the wave. I have yet to hear of someone using Sn100c and switching to SACx. I am using SAC305 for reflow and I am tryi
