Could you direct me to a Standard or Study that has used this termination with 67/37 tin/lead solder please? I am looking for the recommended reflow temperature requirements and reliability issues for the completed product. We are receiving this type

There a number of studies like this published by component fabricators. Many can be found on the net. For instance: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Pb-free_Board-level_reliability_study.pdf

We have experienced a problem with tin leaching or discoloration of lead terminals on random parts on solder side of a paste/paste operation. The profile has been used on previous production runs and there doesn't appear to be any heat damage to othe

Thanks Dave. But I do not understand why the solder being wicking away by the component itself. Does Ag/Pd finishes has stronger wettability than LF HASL finishes ? Rgds

Hi, Recently we have encountered solder wicking on components termination (total of 13 pcs of components on one pcb)with Ag/Pd finishes during lead-free reflow soldering. The pcb is LF HASL surface finish and LF solder paste composition is SAC305.We

Hi Dave, The solder has tended to wet the component termination of Ag/Pd (chip capacitor) but has not wetted the pads, whereas the solder has wetted both termination & pads when using Ag/Ni/Sn finishes. Thks

If the terminations on your components are not barrier plated, you must be very careful about the amount of time you stay above liquidous. As you'd expect, longer is not better. The longer you stay at liquidous, the more of the component terminatio

we manufacture a range of ceramic parts that have silver termination,there is already a small leaching problem (absorption of the termination by the solder in liquid form)with Sn62 that we live with, having to implement unleaded solder they are norma

Slaine, We use a Pd/Ag thickfilm paste. Because of the leaching we had to start using solder pastes that have silver in it. For RoHS, we are using a solder paste with an alloy of Sn95/Ag05. We also have to double print the thickfilm pastes. I h
