I was wondering if someone could tell me the steps they went through to convert a SAC305 Wave Solder pot over to SN100C. I'm having wave solder problems with SAC305 and I'm considering a change to SN100C. Didn't know if it was a -in replacement or

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

Before anyone tells me to search the fine archives, I already did! I typed Sn100c and Reflow, and nothing came up. Anyway, any of your folks out there run Sn100C across the board - Reflow, Wave and/or Selective, and Hand-Soldering? If so, please p

We believe that some suppliers replace nickel with cobalt in SN100 to product a shinier, less grainy, more attractive lead-free solder connection. SN100E sales-types like the idea that it is available in paste, bar stock, and other forms; as compare

This make me curious how many people are using sn100 versus how many using sac305. The sn100 seemed to generally cover the pads and flow a little better, and looked nicer, but SAC305 overall was easier. Is this normal or do I need to work more on sa

We use succesfully SN100C on ERSA330 for about 2-3years. Pros: - price, - less dross comparing to SAC305, - some ppl say better mechanical durability comparing to SAC305 (depends who pay for "independent" studies) Cons: - higher melting temp so r

We started with SN100C from the very beginning when we purchased our selective solder machine. It has been working well for us. I can't speak to what happens when changing over to it, but I've heard of many companies using SN100C for selective sold

SN100C is being used by 95% of our customers over the SAC305. The main reasons are Cost big savings easily $10.00 lb, nice shiny solder joints good for quality inspection. Very few people are using SN100C in SMT Due to increased temperature requireme

We had x-ray and optical microscopy analyses done on transformers dip soldered with Sn/Pb, SN100C3 and SN100C4 alloys using temperatures 400�C ... 450 �C, with dip times of 2..4 seconds. We found that SN100C4 is at least as good as Sn/Pb 62/38 and SN

We have tested SN100C for LF wave soldering process since August'05 and currently start production for a month ago. Initially we use SAC305, but due to the shrinkage cavities (micro-crack) we changeover to SN100C. In summary, SN100C did perform well
