Tuan - One of the reasons I suggested pre-tinning (aside from the negative effects of Gold on appearance and reliability) is the known slower wetting of Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu alloys as compared to Sn/Pb. If you don't have to be Lead-free, the high Lead

Hello, usually you will place your themocouples on the most critical parts on your board. I would say, very big parts, very sensetive to the temperature parts, heavy parts, parts with big heat-sink.... The easiest way is to solder your thermocouple

Tuan - How about Sn/0.7Cu? It's M.P. is 227 and it's readily available. If the leads are Gold plated you might consider pre-tinning them. If you need a higher temp alloy any of the major solder companies can help - I suggets you start with Ind

Tuan: Consider Sn 96.5/Ag 3.5 or Sn10/PB88/Ag02 also. As Glenn says, you had better get rid of that gold or you will never have a shiney connection. Not that a shiney connection means anything about the quality or reliability of your soldering. M

I've tried Indium NC-SMQ92(96.5Sn 3.5Ag) on these MCMs and achieved only marginal wetting on pads and parts. The good wetting is what I try to achieve, shiny is what my engineers want (Prototype environment). Does pre-cleaning the PWBs in ultrasonic

Glenn and Paul have hit the nail right on the head. Continue working with your solder vendors. I know that many people have succeeded with what you are trying. And the Pb-Free push is only making things better for you as companies develop just wha

We used Promosol Sn96.5/Ag 3.5 during our initial qualification for similar application. We could not achieve a shiny solder joint. Our changes to Sn95.5/Ag 4.5 does not improve the look. In order to confirm the reliability of the joint, I suggest yo

I would agree if you have a board to setup the process. But sometimes this doesn't work... If for some reason if the customers AVL has a Lead Free BGA and I am running Leaded paste (yes this really happens!), you will need to run hotter to get your
