Who is using two sorts of tin in one selective soldering machine with to solder pots? So then the soldering program selects the correct pot (tin). What are the risks? Adding wrong tin in the wrong pot. Mixing up the nozzles?

We use both in our selective soldering machine. Training is the most important concern. As long as you have well trained operators the risk is minimized.

Yep, done it previously with a multipot machine. Using with wirefeed to top up the pots means you only have a contamintion risk when you fit a new top up reel. Used separate nozzles for both, but theoretically using titanium nozzles would mean no c

It really doesn't matter that military has an exemption. They're still stuck with the same tin whisker risk since the component manufacturers have switched to service the consumer electronics market which are their large volume customers. The same i

Hi Davef, Do you means it is natural for tin diffusion to copper trace during SMT process? but I could not detect tin in UHAST T=0 unit, and the tin diffusion was found only in copper trace of C4 cage. Two question: 1) Could you tell me which pr

Hi Paul, One thing I can tell you for sure "lead free" is not going to solve your problem, because spectrum analysis have shown that dendrites at there final stage always consists of pure tin. The higher the tin content the higher the risk for dead

Thanks davef. The defect always occurred during UHAST reliability, but not find in reflow. The key is that there is tin diffuse to copper trace under solder mask. is it a "normal" board defect and what is the potential risk for device? thanks!
