There are competitors to REL solder alloys from AIM. Tin-Copper-Nickel-Bismuth alloys (Nihon Superior) are an alternative option which do very well in thermal cycle testing. The reflow profiles required are similar to SAC305 profiles. You may als

There are several implications: - some lead free alloys do not form an acceptable solder joint when used with lead contaning paste. (ie. Bismuth) - if you use both lead free and lead containing components, you will have different solder joint compos

We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

I have used LTS (Sn57.6%Bi0.4%Ag) solder balls for soldering on Ni/Au pads, and I have observed a wrinkle pattern on the ball surface. When you attempted soldering on CuOSP substrate pads under the same conditions, the surface appeared normal. Additi
