hi, gald to hear that yr process is working well.....we are in the process of buying a wave with SN100C solder.....any pitfalls/precautions that you took during the transition? did you do any DOE for setting up the profile values?? are you seeing a

Howdy Amol, As far as I can see, there aren't too many pitfalls with SN100C. Just make sure to keep all of your alloys seperated. The issues that I am working out right now is the profiles with our wave pallets and some of our larger components. We

Glad to hear it is running good for you. I have my new wave solder machine in house.(hooking it up next week). I am debating between Sn100 and Cobalt 995 (metallic resources). Does anybody have an experience with the Cobalt. Or a reason not to go wit

Hi, Do you mean selective palettes in the wave? We are running those, and it makes the process window tight, but once we got there, it's great. Pre heating the board was a bit difficult, but we got it right, and went for a water based flux. Not sure

I tried some SN100C from AIM... On only one array. It flowed well on the chips but did not like the finish on the SOT23's on the board. I did not have enough arrays to mess around, so we switched it over to SAC305 and had no issues. I'm guessing w

Grant, Haven't doen any work with the SN100C paste, the problem I guess is yoru subject to the suppliers flux base so if that is poor then the alloy may not perform as well as it could. We've found Avantec to be pretty good at SMT but have got SN100C

Hi, That's good news, and we did outs with SN100C as well on Wed, however we are still working hard on getting a good profile. We have some large BNC connectors, and they are hard to profile. We also have wave palettes, and these might be too thick

We switched to Sn100C on 2 waves and kept one with SAC305. The SAC305 will be converted to SN100C as soon as the Aim rep. delivers it next week.

Just wondering what the companies that are use SN100C are using for reflow (I guess SAC), and especially for handsoldering. Do SAC and SN100C mix? are there any studies proving this?

We have tested SN100C for LF wave soldering process since August'05 and currently start production for a month ago. Initially we use SAC305, but due to the shrinkage cavities (micro-crack) we changeover to SN100C. In summary, SN100C did perform well
