Last week I had the opportunity to get a sample of AIM SN100C solder paste. The SN100C paste was very nice to work with. My initial observations was that the paste had a very light odor, much less than the Alpha UP78 paste that we are currently

Hi, Thanks, and we are doing that today. After spending the day playing with all the usual things that used to work, we are focusing today on profiling and data to get things right. The only worry I have is did we get a wave that can handle this, a

I guess the paste is Leaded hence the 220 Peak temp and the Sn100c is Eutectic at 227C so you need to be hotter to melt the HASL finish or you are relying on it alloying together with the paste which takes much longer. suggest running peak temp of 23

Hi, I have done conversion from SAC387 to SCS7 with great results on process improvement with low cost. I see only the melting point is higher but still the solder pot temperature settings is 250�C to 260�C as SAC. If somebody think the temperature

Hi, We have spent the day trying to profile our Vitroncis Soltec Delta C wave with the new SN100C solder, but having problems with the heavy pins on some BNC connectors we are using. We have Interflux no residue flux, and we are using palettes, whi

Hi, Very funny, and I feel so much better not because of your advice, but because your a Dr Dr PhD, and we all know thats more important than experience! Seriously though, so you think we should be ok with the zones we have? We are not sure, and so

Hi, ok, I have a bit more info after playing further with the profiling. We are getting close, but we don't have enough top side heat I think. The IR lamps just don't give enough, but we can get better connector that should help. But we have anoth

We don't do any wave, SMT only. We did not have to change apertures for lead free, we use the same stencil that we did when we ran water soluble with pb. This I think might be dependant upon your current design of both pad and apertures however.

Hi. I agree that the Soltec has weak, low-wattage preheaters, and also, the Soltec's fluxer is flippin' weak too. It doesn't do a good jab of atomizing the flux and getting good, huh-huh, penetration on the holes. I cranked up my Soltec's pressu

DaveF, That's correct. This assembly is plain old tin-lead, but our buyer purchases the bare PCB with lead-free HASL plating. My main concern was the regular tin-lead not coalescing with the PCB plating and having a weak intermetallic. I'm not fr
