Just because you can't add copper to the board, doesn't mean you can't add copper to the panel. Redesign panel, where board house can add copper to the panel to balance the board a little better. I would advise against low melting solder alloys on cu

Hi Peter Its looks on a par with mine so not bad at all but our alloy is considerably cheaper than SAC305 and significantly shinier We used our 10-75-30-R VOC free flux with topside of 100 - 105C Cheers Greg

Hi, We are using Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu solder paste on Pd/Ag pad metallization in one of our application. Could someone provide me information on the following: 1. How bad is the Leaching of Ag in SAC alloy and how it can be mitigated. 2. During reflow so

You can use straight forward Tin/Copper but it flows very poorly so solderability is an issue. Dosing with Phos improves this but need to stay on top of it. We have supplied some 3.8%Ag alloys for flow they work well but you get a small 'chill point'

O.K., I give up. I am through trying to solder thermocouples on to 20 mil pitch QFPs. Whether it's my lousy technique (fairly likely), the wrong solder (Kester calls it thermocouple solder, and who am I to argue...it's a Sn10Pb88Ag2 alloy) or just

hi, we use SACx0307 since 2006 year.now , I want change this alloy with SN100C?I now that we must remuve all solder in the pot and cleen it.But that is very difficult process.What you think, can I just add new SN100C in the solder wave?What is the ri

Notes from an AIM No-Lead Presentation ... Wave Soldering * May require a higher pot temperature than tin/lead: 255-265*C * May require a change in liquid fluxes to compensate for the poor wetting of some alloys and high thermal stresses of the wave

Contaminating lead-free solder connections with lead is generally a bad idea, but that's not what you plan. You plan to add tin to your tin-lead solder connection. We don't think there is a significant problem for most applications. Adding tin will

Q1) How to identify on good or bad RF shield that could contribute to dewetting? A1) We use Alloy 770 and 752 [German silver] for our RF shields. We have never seen a solderability issue, even aged stock solders well. * Nickel Alloy 752, Nickel Silv

Q1) How to identify on good or bad ICs lead that could contribute to dewetting? A1) Distinguish between good or bad IC that could contribute to dewetting by testing for solderability, according to J-STD-002. Q2) What actions that must be taken in fa
