The ternary SnPbBi phase does form commonly when Pb and Bi are combined. No special condition required. Presence of this phase jeopardizes the reliability for applications involving temperature near 96C. Using low temperature solders means a lower s

Hi SnAg is a binary alloy and does not have the same effect as a ternary SnAgCu alloy as far the pasty range is concerned. But then paste only can do so much. The best way to do it is to have proper pad design, controlled placement and reflow. I w

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

The European WEEE has issued a new (5th) version of its recommendations. In it they say that , on January 1st, 2004, they will review the status of the Pb-Free issue. There is currently NO DEADLINE for implementation. As far as a direct replacemen

| | Do solders exist that are both lead-free and low-temperature (e.g. 100-170 Celsius range)? If so, who supplies these materials? Any websites or contact information would be most helpful. | | | | Also, I am not an expert on soldering, so any

If the thermal mass of the products is small, a tent-shaped profile is recommended, with peak temperature around 240C. The hottest spot on board should be less than 250C. However, if the thermal mass of the product is large, such as a large server PC
