Your customer's question is reasonable. Soldering to nickel is not always a walk on the beach [can of corn, or whatever]. This issue is flux not solder. Your Sn63 will have plenty of strength, providing the solder connection is well formed. You s

Well the only spec is 10.88% flux, 89.12% metal. the problem is only at one specific capacitor we have this issue. Sn over Ni finish. Sn-Ag solder paste. I have read all the arhives from the site, but nothing explains me what is happening.everything

Has anyone had any experience with 60/40 Sn/Ni(300 u in.) over Ni(300 u in.)? If so, what kind of solder issues might exist with 63/37 Sn/Pb reflow? Is a different paste needed? Also, what is the benefit of using the same platings with a top plating

This is a very timely topic, as we drift [buffeted by the combined wind of everyone down-stream in the supply chain ] on waves carrying all of us from the land of lead to the land of no-lead. I want to say there was a recent trade journal article pu

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

Hello Amol, I continue to be amazed at the surprise engineers have on discovering that a non-eutectic alloy such as SAC305 displays micro-cracking and rough joints in a soldering process. There was a reason the electronics industry chose to use eutec

We have problems with voids when we solder lids to ceramic flatpackages. The sealring of the package is gold(100 micro inches or 2.5 micro meters)with a underlayer of Nickel The solder is attached to the lid (preform) and the solder material is Au/S

That "C - it doesn�t matter" choice sounds good because it doesn�t give you a headache when profiling but it gives me a headache when I read the article in the current "newsletter" about profiling where I found this: "If soldering to gold over nick

Responding to your questions ... RELIABILITY OF 1% SILVER SOLDER PASTE: It�s as good as the next solder paste, all other things the same. Look at your back articles by Jennie Hang in SMT magazine. I want to say she wrote an article on the topic i
