A water soluble solder paste (AIM WS483), reflow and wash. We are considering using AIM NC254 No-clean solder paste to eliminate the wash step.

Anyone using a No-clean solder paste on a pcb with a 100 Mbps Ethernet chip? Will the residue cause any signal degradation? Any issues with a no-clean solder paste and 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet? Device: National Semiconductor DP83848 10/100 Mb

Residues from different no-clean fluxes produce different levels of variation in RF circuits. Some no-clean fluxes work fine. Following this, a no-clean flux can produce different levels of variation in RF circuits depending on the process setup.

Studies showed that there are no issues mixing SN100C and SAC305, I believe that AIM has this info. Russ

Hi Jason, Did the SAC paste wet other board finishes adequately? I have seen no issues to date with solderability of SN100CL HASL boards with our No Clean pastes. Regards, Bob

I've tested boards with SN100C HAL finish, and wetting to the PCB finish was poor at best, using a no clean SAC305 paste.

Any issues in your experience using SAC305 for reflow and SN100C for wave on ENIG pcbs? I've seen the CD, but there's not much specific data regarding ENIG pcbs Thanks

Yes, there have been many issues with the fast dissolution of copper by the SAC305 alloy. In fact, there are companies who have disqualified it for repair operations due to loss/thinning of the pads. SN100C dissolves copper much slower than SAC305 an

CEMCO Uk have done testing using SACX0307, SAC305 and Sn/Cu/Ni. The copper dissolution tests (report available) conducted at CEMCO showed that the lowest copper erosion rate was achieved by SACX0307. Regards Gerry

Hello, in Europe (SN100C sold by Balver Zinn) several solder pots have been filled by this alloy. On the paper I heard talking very well in terms of performance and good price, but not data are available ( as I know) about performance and if r
