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

The 2 % is Ag.It is added to prevent leaching silver from the end caps of components.This alloy like 63/37 is eutectic and has a reflow temp of 179�C whereas 63/37 is 183�C.

I have to agree with Patrick here. This image appears to show a board that is NOT HASL as there is what appears to be a copper pad in the upper portion of the image. But then again the arrow tip appears to be white and I woudl expect that to be red s

I'll be real brief, because of time, but feel free to contact me later (lgoldberg@chipcenter.com). There is big conceren (somewhat well-founded but a bit overblown) about lead form electronics products leaching into the environment when they are land

Boca, Dave Sorry, but I cannot let this go. I'll go along with you that, at the time that the Montreal Protocol was initially signed (September 1987), there was no scientific proof that CFCs etc. were causing ozone depletion. There was, however, ve

Hi, We are using Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu solder paste on Pd/Ag pad metallization in one of our application. Could someone provide me information on the following: 1. How bad is the Leaching of Ag in SAC alloy and how it can be mitigated. 2. During reflow so

I assume you are talking about Sn62Pb36Ag2 solder. You should not see any added concerns when subjecting Sn62 to multiple reflow cycles as compared to Sn63. As compared to Sn63Pb37: Reduced leaching issues Increased Wetting due to lo

I'd be a more than a little cautious about doing this. Had a somewhat different application once and found out that as the solution was cleaning/etching the surface, it also leached (thru the lead frame) into the body of the part. What we thought w

Silver in the paste is present to minimise any negative effects of silver in the pcb finish or component terminations. 2% Ag prevent silver leaching thus giving a more reliable joint.
