We have been using SN100C in our RPS Rhythm selective solder machine since we bought it in 2008 with good success. No issues with the solder pot. We are setting the pot temperature to 300C.

Hello Arnold, Just to clarify the Sn100C discussion: Please note that SN100C is the Nihon Superior alloy composed of tin/.7copper/nickel. The key point in regard to SN100C is that Cu does not go directly into solution but first reacts to form an inte

We have been using a selective solder system for all of our automated LF through hole processing to this point. It has served us well but volumes are increasing and we are getting ready to pull the trigger on a full size wave machine to handle the l

Hi, So that's really important to have a specific flux for lead free? We are looking at changing to SN100C after reading this thread and other stuff we have found, so can anyone recommend the best no clean flux for that metal? Do you need differen

SN100C, not as aggressive towards other metals as are other High tin lead free alloys. Why? Sn63/pb37 The lead prevented the tin from being very aggressive. SAC305 no lead, silver instead. Silver doesnt block Tin from it's aggresiveness. SN100C no si

Hello AJ, I have customer references who have converted Electroverts to SN100C who are available to discuss their experience with you. One has been running over 2 years and others over 1 year. No corrosion due to SN100C has been found to date. FYI,

Good afternoon all! Theoretically, there should not be any issues soldering to the SN100C as the tin content of the molten paste alloy should wet to the finish with no problem. I would just ensure that the peak temperature of the joint is above the

Bob The actual process for converting from SAC305 to SN100C is pretty painless. Basic steps: 1) make sure your solder pot is at temp 2) de-dross 3) pull pumps/flow duct(s) and clean 4) purge pot of SAC material 5) remove any remaining dross/alloy i

I'm testing SN100C, and with our 5 zone oven I seem to be able to fix one issue by changing the profile, but that might introduce a new problem. Some profiles work very well on most components, but have issues on other components. These are usually 0
