Expanding on the limit of the portion of gold acceptable in a solder connection [mentioned in an earlier post]: The embrittlement culprit, AuSn4, is 29 weight percent gold. So even if one had 100% tin as the solder alloy and 10% gold were dissolved

use a solder join temperature of 200/210� whatever the pcb used (tin lead coated or osp or gold fash). 2nd ==> to adapt the temerature to the pcb used: - Reflow (200-210�) for tin lead coated pcb's (in this case we have just to reflow the solder

Hi, ENIG finish is the same reason I came to this forum for the first time a few months ago. I found a bunch of useful information by searching the archives. Check it out. ENIG has some good properties like flatness, and the process control has i

Yins are bad, this guy's serious. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically and electrically

We are considering the use of Immersion Silver for a PCB surface finish. We currently use Immersion Gold surface finish, which has served us well. However, recent discussions on the cracking of corner joints on large pin count BGA packages, with the

Jeff: Try this: ROSA. John�s spot on. I�ll add that it is a fluxless method that reduces the oxides in an aqueous solution. Another source of information is: Trench, M., Hillman, D., Lucey, G., "Environmentally Friendly Closed Loop Soldering,"

| We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a reco

Dear fellow process engineers, Some solder joints "trough hole component" have cracked. I suspect that in the market some technician tryed to straighten some components (LED) and has applied enough force to actually brake the joint. The joints were
