Hello! I am in a little problem, theres a problem in one of the components, is a new component that we are working with the leads are tin coated, and after we solder in the reflow oven, with lead solder, we took them to do a some test and on a cros

You're correct. You should expect to see an intermetallic layer in a proper solder connection. Try leaving the component at temperature for a longer period. Growth of intermetallic compounds on Cu surfaces [Klein Wassink]: d = 10^3(exp(-5*10^3/T)t^1

We have the need to verify that proper intermetallic layer between a 100% Sn plated contact and the solder joint is being formed. Never having done this before: Is there any specifications, etc. that we can use as acceptability criteria?

good * No IMC => bad Intermetallic growths are diffusion limited, and therefore the thickness of the intermetallic is given by: z^2 = (Do)(t)exp[-Q/RT] Where Do (m^2 s-1) is the diffusion coefficient, T(�K) is the temperature, Q (J mol-1) is the act

Hi there, I am looking for some informations concerning the shear or pull strength of a typical TQFP 20 mils leads in relationship with the Copper/Tin intermetalic layer thickness. Could anyone help? Thank in advandce. rgs, chiakl

Tks for the answers,, My concern is about the intermetalic layer,,I run SMQ230 LEAD FREE paste.. its liquidous at 217C..the oven have 7 zone, but I run in 5 zones also with a more agressive profile (due to the line rate)..I would like to know if runn

Chris, Two points of perspective are: 1 Solderability: The shelf life of components has elapsed when they are no longer solderable. There's tons of variables that affect this, but keys are: * Intermetalics grow as a function of temperature. * Th

The colour you see on the pads is tin/copper intermetallic layer. In your reflow the immersion tin coating and the copper pad underneath react to form in intermetalic layer. The effect is worse the hotter the pcb or area of the pcb gets. In IR reflow

Does anyone have any data about the dangers of reflowing BGA's twice? I have a customer that is concearned about cracking in the intermetallic layer after the second pass. Thanks in advance.
