Silver in the paste is present to minimise any negative effects of silver in the pcb finish or component terminations. 2% Ag prevent silver leaching thus giving a more reliable joint.

There a number of studies like this published by component fabricators. Many can be found on the net. For instance: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Pb-free_Board-level_reliability_study.pdf

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

John: What�s the matter? Free gold � good thing for you, bad thing for your supplier. :^) Pre-tinning of gold plated leads is important to: � Prevent gold embrittlement of the solder joint � Determine if the leads are solderable prior to assembly (

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

Gary, I'm pretty much the main contact at TI for palladium lead finish questions. We have a web site at "http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/asl/palladm/index.htm" which has technical papers I have written on the subject. Also, you'll find the Pd Lead Finish
