Hi Tom, I did talk to Bob Gilbert about the sn100c. His comment is that it is a nickle stabalized alloy. Simplisticly, the tin and copper molecules would rather bond with the nickle. He also mentioned that with the SAC alloys, the manufactuers were

It is one of our pastes...Almit LFM48 W TM-HP, a high reliability no clean solder paste based on SAC305 with a size 4 powder. It's a paste that works so well we have thousands of users of it worldwide. Why are you using SN100C alloy paste ? I imagin

Ther is a solder alloy out there that is supposed to allow lead free wave processing without having to upgrade pumps and such or increasing the pot temp (direct drop in). I have not used it nor do I plan on doing leadfree wave soldering but you may

had a quick question regarding compatibility of Sn100C HASL finish and regular Sn63 solder paste. Does the thermal profile have to reach Sn100C eutectic temps. in order for the Sn 100C HASL to coaelesce with the Sn63 Solder paste? How reliable is t

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

If your peak temps in profiling the Sn/Pb solderpaste are 210C-215C, then no, you will not "weld" to the SN100C finish. SN100C is liquidus at 227C, too hot for most Sn/Pb solderpastes.

It sounds as if this Sn100c HASL process is still in its infancy requiring further process development and characterization..weather its a better more active flux or a different profile... Given your situation of the Sn100c coating actually "repellin

There are many users of SN100C in reflow. SN100C was originally introduced as a wave solder alloy which offered cost savings over SAC, no solder pot erosion, and high fluidity. Since it is eutectic, no plastic range, the joints have a smooth, shiny

I'm testing SN100C, and with our 5 zone oven I seem to be able to fix one issue by changing the profile, but that might introduce a new problem. Some profiles work very well on most components, but have issues on other components. These are usually 0

I have a pcb with an ENIG finish that is using a 144 pin LQFP and being soldered withSN100C/NC258 T4 paste. I used a oven profiler where the probes are taped down to the joint and the profiling software adjusts the program for the best profile for
