I've never used SAC405. Not for nothing ... Other low temperature solder alloys that you should consider are: * Sn42/Bi58 [138*C]: Alloy for low temperature applications. Attention should be paid to potential embrittlement issues and poor thermal fa

Guys I have a question since the ever present problem with the crack switch we had to change to a low temp lead free solder paste in these case eutectic 58Bi/42Sn and 57Bi/42Sn/1Ag alloys, now the main question whats diferent between these one and th

Hi All! I've been reading this conversation which prompted me to break out the IPC-SM-786A from the IPC manuals from our parent company in Maryland sent us (we're just starting up in California). It's the Procedures for Characterizing and Handling of

In general two step temperature reflow process requires minimum 40 deg C delta to be sucessful. We are not using vapor phase soldering but we have similar situation when we change to SAC lead free solder for PCB component population and secondary swe

An example of very low melting point Pb-free solder is 58Bi/42Sn. Different versions of this alloys have been tried, such as doping with various additives, in order to enhance the reliability further. Yes, Bi is one element which promises low mp for

Hi James, is it your oven a convection forced air ? if yes you should check if air flow speed is too high. Also, some time ( do not smile pls !!) it could be a metter of magnectic field inside oven tunnel. The SOT leads are normally madeby A-42

Actully none couse we glue them. Please see attached file - there are red dots marking glue placment. I understand you want to check if there is any sense in gluing components. I`ll ask one more time - Is anoyne who reworked SMDs with SAC305 where

| I am currently involved in a reliability project related to SMT QFP and TSSOP fine pitch solder joint reliability. I have decided to use a temp chamber for stress testing. Is there a test standard that covers this? I am also a bit unsre as to wheth

In general, it is safer to use a single alloy with a known composition and performance characteristics. If you need to change the alloy used in your selective soldering machine bath, it is advisable to consult with the manufacturer or a soldering exp

Multiple process and rework thermal cycles are brutal on boards and components. Improving reliability of products through reducing thermal stress ends-up being a major driver to the interest in lower MP LF solders. Binary LF solders require the addit
