If we procure parts with a Sn/Ag termination, can we still use standard Sn/Pb solder pastes and the current reflow and wave processes?

Well the only spec is 10.88% flux, 89.12% metal. the problem is only at one specific capacitor we have this issue. Sn over Ni finish. Sn-Ag solder paste. I have read all the arhives from the site, but nothing explains me what is happening.everything

Our employees use a knit style ESD glove when masking boards to prevent oils. They snag alot and bend leads and cause other problems. I have tried dipped palm but they are bulky and dont offer "feel". I tried a silky type but they had a huge seam

Any opinion on what size aperture and stencil thickness is most optimum for Land Grid Array 1.27mm pitch with .6mm pad using SN/AG NC solder paste?

Check out the attached and compare your issue w/ the issue in the attached. If it's 'beading' versus 'balling' - check thru the punch list and if you've addressed all those potential causes - then it may be paste specific. The Sn/Ag alloy choice is

We use the same profiler for convection and VP. For VP you just have to be very careful as the thermocouple wires must travel through the machine so cannot get "snagged" on anything as they go in or come out.

Hi All My company is doing PCB assembly.To save cost, we change our wave solder bath from SnAg to SAC 305. What is the pros and cons for using SAC 305 solder? And,will affect to our quailty? Thanks in advance.

Hi SnAg is a binary alloy and does not have the same effect as a ternary SnAgCu alloy as far the pasty range is concerned. But then paste only can do so much. The best way to do it is to have proper pad design, controlled placement and reflow. I w

Hi, There have been other studies where it was found that lead-free soloder joints are more reliable than tin-lead solder joints irrespective of test conditions. In fact the automotive industry has been using Sn/Ag for underhood applications for a

Sn-Ag, Sn-Sb, and Sn-Cu based lead free alloys have a higher melting point than that of Sn-Pb eutectic system. Thus, it will be better if you can use a higher TG PCB for lead free purpose. But, also most of commercial products including SAC can be
