I am trying to develop a process for building high environmental temperature PCBs (150-225C) specifically for down hole applications. I'm specifying an evaluation board and was thinking about using polyimide PCBs with Sn05Pb92.5Ag2.5 solder. What so

Does anyone knows any vendors that supplies jedec precondition tray that could stand up to 270�C peak reflow temperature.

I am having problems with SMT electrolytic capacitors expanding and changing values after going through our reflow. The reflow profile we use includes temperatures of 200 deg C for 60 seconds and 230 deg C for 30 seconds. We need to use this profil

221 degree C) to achieve good wetting and shiny filet. Comments and recommedations are welcome.

Tuan - One of the reasons I suggested pre-tinning (aside from the negative effects of Gold on appearance and reliability) is the known slower wetting of Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu alloys as compared to Sn/Pb. If you don't have to be Lead-free, the high Lead

Tuan - How about Sn/0.7Cu? It's M.P. is 227 and it's readily available. If the leads are Gold plated you might consider pre-tinning them. If you need a higher temp alloy any of the major solder companies can help - I suggets you start with Ind

Tuan: Consider Sn 96.5/Ag 3.5 or Sn10/PB88/Ag02 also. As Glenn says, you had better get rid of that gold or you will never have a shiney connection. Not that a shiney connection means anything about the quality or reliability of your soldering. M

I've tried Indium NC-SMQ92(96.5Sn 3.5Ag) on these MCMs and achieved only marginal wetting on pads and parts. The good wetting is what I try to achieve, shiny is what my engineers want (Prototype environment). Does pre-cleaning the PWBs in ultrasonic

Glenn and Paul have hit the nail right on the head. Continue working with your solder vendors. I know that many people have succeeded with what you are trying. And the Pb-Free push is only making things better for you as companies develop just wha
