I would try a PTFE (Teflon) wire or Teflon protected wire or you could try anodized aluminum. Its getting more and more interesting how the lead free era develops. Just a thought I wander how long its going to take the tin (not passivated with lead)

Well, I'm going to assume you: * Have a nichel barrier between the copper on your board and the gold / solder solution * Use a lead / tin near euthectic solder If so, I pick "C" - It doesn't matter. When concerned about copper tin intermetallics, t

Hi to all, All of us are familiar with the conventional way of making PCB...I mean...photo tools/expose/develop/etch/plate etc., These involve lots of chemicals and the work place is toxic. I have a small PCB with just two curves (circuit tracks)and

First, responding to your question � Several things on copper dissolution in solder are: * A 50um copper wire will dissolve in 60Sn / 40Pb solder at: - 200�C solder in 55 seconds; - 250�C solder in 20 seconds; - 300�C solder in 5 seconds; - 350�C so

I use a .059" copper clad sheet of FR4 that I bought from one of our board houses. It has not started to delaminate yet, and it has been through our ovens several hundred times. I am not sure what the life expectancy of a thermo-couple is. I am not 1

Hi DaveF already gave you some fine answers. Yes I have seen CNC routed copper PWBs, and the literature is filled with many unique trace types including laying of fine wires on a board or embedded. You wanting .15mm, and I am guessing, low resistan

I have seen a method used where the pins on the connector are of the same materials as the thermocouple and the connector is connected via single strand wires of the same material to the PCB however the wires were spot welded to bare copper pads to r

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t
