Another question - how would you classify a "pure tin" (supplier term, not mine) alloy with .12% Ni specified? is this a common Pb-free HASL alloy?

Chunks, We have custom nozzles here in Riyadh that are designed to solder through-hole with SMT 0805 R's and C's just 0.5mm away. ERSA charged an arm and a leg for these, so I buy them from my toolmaker, Asadulah , for half the price. They come in

there is a good article by AIM solder regarding tin. In a nut shell, if you do not apply flux or heat to tin finish you will never degrade it! I agree with the others that you need to check the thickness of the pure tin layer. We have forbidden ti

Q1. Do we really need to follow the IPC J-STD-001 Solder purity? A1. Yes, you should control impurities in solder. Further information: * "Allowable concentration of contaminating elements in solder: impurities are harmless unless their level goes to

Before changing solder pastes or jumping through too many hoops, check the melting point of the 100 Sn (pure tin) connection. According to Kester, the melting point of 100Sn solder paste is 232 degrees C. If you do not reach that temperature, you wi

We've been doing it for quite a while on some parts but are noticing that as more manufacturers are going lead free we are starting to see some issues. Particularily with pure tin on nickel. Have found that need to increase oven reflow temp and time

I have a job that requires a minimum of 3% lead in all component terminations. Anyone doing DOD out there with the same? How do you get around this with R's and C's especially? I believe we would be OK if the terminations were not pure tin as well bu

We are going to convert a Leaded Wave machine (EMS Stallion) to Lead Free. Can we just empty the pot of leaded solder, run it with pure tin for a bit and then put in SN100 bar? What's the score with SN100? Oh and does anyone have any paperwork for

Solderability!!! The CM in question has probably seen too many solder problems with White Tin in the past. We have had the same issues. To save us from spending too much time and money(verifying pure Tin plating thickness, Chemical leaching from th

Eric: For the amount of dross that you're removing, we're concerned that you could be loosing the balance of your solder alloy, because dross consists primarily of tin oxides. It has little lead in it, beyond than the lead content of the solder that
