Sorry for the delay. We are actually pretty busy over here. We have found the Aim 257-2 no-clean sac305 paste offers very little if any voiding and better wetting in lead free terminated devices. My suggestion is contact your local Aim distributor fo

I received my sample jar of NC257-2 SAC305 from Aim, and while that may have been true about older Aim paste formulations, this stuff prints and reflows better than anything I have tried and more importantly there were practically no voids on a 256 B

Just to add a comment, we were using AIM Lead Free (SAC 305/ NC254 & 257) in the past and we had Voiding problems, then we tried Indium 8.9 HF, and we have better results, so now we are evaluating change to Indium for many of our products.

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

If you know "soldering Pb free (Sac based soler) to Pb/Sn coated lands is a no-no," why would soldering with Pb/Sn to Pb-free coated lands be different? If you are going to do this, follow the advice of an earlier poster who recommended higher peak s

Dross formation rates for SnCu and SAC are roughly 2.5 times the rate for SnPb (Hwang et al., 2004) Methods for reducing dross are: * Lower pot temperature * Run pump speed slower and only when soldering * Check solder contaminants to BS219, ASTM

does anyone have experience with SACX0107 solder from Alphametals in Wave compared to SN100 or SAC305? I see better price and good features like less dross. However, the alloy looks like non-eutectic and it has 10 degree difference between liquidus a

I am trying to assess current industry thinking on the question of whether or not lead-free BGAs (SAC or other) can or should be soldered in a tin/lead process. It seems there are differing opinions on this and I'm wondering what some of you are doin

Has anyone else had failures with Leds from EOI? The part number is EOZ-ZARNCD0-DG. We are using a lead free no clean process using SAC305 solder. These are thru hole parts and our max temp is 244 for 3 seconds. Please if anyone else had issues
