I wonder if yor customer means wrong "flux"? Your not solderng to gold. Your soldering to Nickle. The gold is disolved and dispersed. Your joint strength comes from the SnNi intermetalic.

I have found that Sn62 solder gives better strength and leach resistance when soldering to gold surfaces. The gold needs to be at least 5 to 10 micro inches thick to prevent nickel oxidation but if over 25 micro inches will cause brittleness. I hav

Sounds to me like they are thinking since they have a gold board that it must be processed lead free. This kind of thing is happening all over since OEMs are starting to think about pb free and sending their purchasing and engineering to these semin

I have two questions that maybe someone can answer? 1. Can or should lead free components be used with standard 63/37 processes? including sn/pb pcb's? 2. Can or should sn/pb components be used for lead free process? I have recieved mixed feeling
