We have used the SN100C for over a year now with fanastic results. We use the SAC305 for SMT and SN100C wire exclusively. There are no problem mixing the alloys. I am also on the commitee for the NASA testing. The SN100C did out perform SAC and SnPb

In addition to our earlier comments, do not be misled into thinking that silicone materials, being rubbery, will transmit shock less. Nothing is farther from the truth. Many silicone rubbers are almost totally incompressible in the short time scale.

Have the SOIC tested by independant. Clarify as to weather or not you have run this board before. Check to see if the board has been rev'ed. Sometimes IC's are rated at a clock speed or by axcess time. Engneering on this board may be at the tolorance
