Hi, I put this on the technet forum, and I know some of the same people are here, but I thought I might catch others here as well. We have PCB's which are populated at the CM level with no-clean solder paste. However in house we use a solder wire s

"For the lead free soldering of electronic assemblies, the inclusion of silver in the alloy results in better wetting compared to non-silver containing alloys and also allows for a broader process window. Silver also improves joint reliab

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

Billy, I have to disagree with you. We inadvertently soldered a Pb BGA with SAC305 paste and then had it micro sectioned and spectrum analyzed. Imagine our surprise when we saw the spectrum analysis showed Pb. The micro sections showed none to ac

we are using SAC305 solder paste

Yes, I have. think I have pretty good reflow profile. We use Lead-Free,No-Clean,SAC305 Solder Paste. The problem is at LGA design.The pad size is alot bigger than BGA. They are totally flat and do not have balls/spheres which melted and collapsed thr

Hi, I made a board wich I plated with immersion Tin, I tought it should be the same result as we had with tin lead but we ran into a weird problem. WE use a 63/37 no clean paste and on the Board with Immersion Tin the solder just make a ball ON

Yes, this scenario is fine. However, BGAs are a different story since the ball is the bulk of the solder joint. In this case, you MUST run a "hybrid profile". Look it up in the fine SMTNet archives (keyword: hybrid profile). I have "been there an

Vlad, yes, he made no mention of a BGA, but I thought I'd just throw it in there. Many people are concerned with the "backward compatible" scenario - running RoHS parts with a Sn/Pb solder paste. The scenario's a no-brainer with most components, bu

4% of the alloy), there is a ternerary phase (not sure if i spelled that right) where the melting point of the alloy is MUCH less than, say, SAC305's. Sn-Bi has also been associated with...... none other than Tin Whiskers. There are some in the in
