Sn43/Pb43/Bi14 is a low temperature leaded alloy that has been used with very good success. The low melting point helps avoid some thermal shock issues on some assemblies. A word of caution, this alloy forms a low melting point at approximately 95*C. This causes the solder joints to fall apart with products that have an operating temperature near that temperature. Take a look at your customer's product in its end-use environment with the temperature excursions in mind to see if they will or will not have problems. We recommend that you set up a specific soldering process around the alloy to prevent it from accidentally "migrating" to other areas of the manufacturing process.
