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

Anyone with definitive reliability data on mixing thru hole lead free terminations (SAC and Sn/Cu) with Sn/Pb solder. Seems like a lot of conflicting information

Dr. Lee, For lead-free wave soldering, we are recommended to use SnCu0.7, why not 0.8 or more ?? Since SnCu0.7 has eutectic melting point at 227 deg C, does it mean with more Cu or less Cu, the melting point will be higher ?? Also, in lead solderin

We have found that when the HASL thickness is less than 5 microns the tin in the HASL reacts with the copper leaving a SnCu surface with poor solderability and microscopic grainy Pb islands. The IPC does not specify minimum HASL thickness but we now

Does anyone out there have experience soldering with Pb solder (Sn 63 or Sn 62) to SAC 305 coated PCB lands (about 50um) or Sn-Cu plated lands (about 10um). I know soldering Pb free (Sac based soler) to Pb/Sn coated lands is a no-no, but was waonderi

ok, sorry ,750 was deg F and which I said 350~400 were deg C, I got a mistake. As I know, we use 660~720 deg F to do reworking for lead free solders such as SAC series and SnCu0.7 series solder to protect irons and components on boards. when temp.

There are certainly many pb-free options being considered by the industry. Currently, the most promising alloys appear to be various combinations of SnAgCu. SnAgBi could also be an option, but to use this alloy, there must be no Pb in the surface f

Dhanish, If I understand correct your ICT doesn't detect shorts and only measures capacitive and resistive values. The webbing as Ken mentioned would have a resistance because this is caused by a lack of flux and the web is mainly tin oxide, which w

Hi does anyone have any experience of running Sn 99 Cu0.7 Ag 0.3 solder in their waves? Also is there any reliabilty data available? I think it may also be called C7A3. All I can find is a brief mention in a table in IEC 61190-1-3 2004, and on a pr
