We are trying to use this high-temp solder paste due to a very special process, but we run into tombstones on chip caps, 0402 and 0603. We don't have this problem if we use regular SAC305 solder paste. If you have experience with this type of solde

All of our reflow is with room air, 63/37 and SAC305. I believe nitrogen will get you better looking solder joints (shiny, less grainy under magnification), but per IPC, functionality and strength I don't think there is much difference.

Your reflow profile should be designed towards the flux in your solder paste. To form a proper inter-metallic layer, you need to reach 20-30C above your melting point and stay in liquidus state for certain amount of time. SAC 105 has 3C difference fr

With Pb-Free HASL you can't use Pb process for sure as the melting point of tin is so much higher than the lead paste process. SAC305 is the most popular compound, unless your assembly requires something else for a specific reason.

Hi to all experts, Can anyone advice us what solder alloy to use for thermal cycling products. We are facing a lot of issues using normal solder paste SAC305. After thermal cycling the solder is cracking. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advanc

I, too, have finished qualifying the Amtech paste for a dispensing application. We will be experimenting with the component soldering/stencil printing next. The stuff has proven to provide the best of both the no-clean/low solids and water washable
