SnCu Based Alloy Design for Lower Copper Dissolution and Better Process Control

Material Concepts for Alternative Alloys

To meet the market demand for a best-in-class, low-cost leadfree alloy for wave, selective and dip soldering
  • SAC305 is the industry standard but higher in cost due to Silver content
  • New material had to have the following attributes:
    • Low cost, Silver free
    • Low drossing, low oxide potential
    • Shiny joints without shrink holes
    • Minimized dissolution of Copper and other metals
    • Low solder maintenance
    • Good wetting behavior on popular lead-free finishes
