You are technically correct eutectic Sn/Pb was discovered by the ancient Egyptians in (XXX) BC much longer then 20 centuries. I was just referring to soft soldering in the electronics assembly industry :-).

Happy New Year to All: Has anyone of you encountered a solder short on QFP pin yet there's no evidence of bridging in between gaps? I am using an SnPb solder paste.

I have been using this series with AIM SnPb no-clean paste without problems.

Thanks Dave I tried various sockts but all were failed.At SnPb profile,maximum- 230'c~240'c, the solder at sockets' pins not melted.Increasing to 250'C, the sockts were deformed.

Hi everyone, someone knows the correct parameters for reflow the smt devices using SnPb on ENIG finishing ? Someone suggest to use more temperature than others finishing, cause nickel barrier. Someone can confirm this ? There are handbooks or articl

I agree that in consumer electronics there may be nothing wrong with using a lead free BGA in a SnPb process, but that blanket statement can't be made for the high reliability market.

Do you have pictures and/or cross-sections of the non-wet? Is the HASL SnPb or SN100?

I am a big fan of AIM SnPb solder paste. I currently use NC257-2 (no-clean, 89.5%), and recommend you include it in your evaluations.

If you are using lead solder (SnPb) HASL is a good choice. If you are using lead-free (RoHS compliant) solder then I would recommend Immersion Gold (ENIG).

The hazards of a wave solder machine are: * High temperature * Airborne metal oxides * Flux fumes
