We've recently identified that one of our wavesolder machines has a high tin content. It should be 63% and is greater than 1% above that. We are adding pure tin to adjust the ratio back to 63%. I'm wondering what defects might be expected as the ti

It could be that the Sn96 has dissolved the Tin rapidly and gone for the Copper. What dwell times are they using with the irons? Probably better off using a Tin Copper alloy for reduced dissolution worth a try Cheers Greg

Has anyone had any experience with using this alternative plating process? Some board houses are pushing toward this plating. Is there any long term data on this process? Any problems experienced with smt and thru-hole? I've heard tin whiskers to be

What thickness is required to process a double sided board with white tin? Is there an IPC standard? If rework is necessary, what is required?

was the wetting test conducted with SN96? Do any Pull or stress testing?

I have never seen excess tin [heard of it, just never seen it]. Excess lead yes, but tin no. See, tin oxidizes faster than lead. This means that dross has a higher tin content than the solder in the pot. So, with a very high dross machine, we regul

Are you refering to reflow soldering or wave soldering? Brian, do you have any data to support that SAC305 is more reliable than Tin-Copper-Nickel? NEMI reccomended SAC type alloys for reflow and Tin-Copper for wave. See: http://circuitsassembly.

We have been manufacturing a part using bright electrolytic tin as the finish. Our customer has been hand soldering using 63/37. They have recently switched to SN96 and have been experiencing solderability issues. We have sent samples to an outside

We have mixed to negative feelings about Omikron, but I beileve it is due to problems with the board fabricator rather than the process itself. When done properly, our Omikron boards have had very good solderability. However, we have had several ru
