If what you are talking about is "assembly materials", then consider the following: - Solder paste - Wavesoldering fluxes - Bar (for filling wavesolder pots) - Underfill (for TCE-mismatched CSP's and flip-chip) - Cleaning fluids (for post-reflow boa

Hi Hannu, You just gave a very realistic and practical view of the lead-free dilemma. The main reason that your coil coating doesn't get removed is because of the inability of lead free alloys to wet the surface and conduct the heat. Higher temperat

Hi Peter, There is no Silver in it, which even in small quantities (0.3%-4%) improves solderability. I would try and see a demo on a similar machine to yours with a similar product as everyone can get their solder to look great in lab/showroom site

I'm using Kester R520A Lead free solder paste. The flux % stated on the Certificate of Analysis(COA) when the product delivered to us is 10 %. The tolerance is 1%. But when i send the jar to an external lab to determine the flux % it is more than 11%

I'm with DaveF on this one. I think you'll be trying solve this one for a long time. Alloy42 just doesn't like to be soldered. What exactly is the issue? Lack of a toe fillets at on the cropped lead? There is no spec for a toe fillet other than to

Hi Folks, just wondering if anyone else agrees that Rheometric pumps do not work and are more trouble than they're worth. They do not circulate the solder paste properly. The only solder paste that is processed on a FIFO basis is the materia

Hello Pete, I am not aware of any Wave solder machine manufacturer selling new pots from SS without being "LF compatible". Who would buy it now?? Also, machine warranties generally are no longer than 1 year anyway so all existing machines over 1 year

if a solder has over 85% lead its classed as RoHS complient because its difficult to achive the same melting point with anything else (298degrees). a few other alloys with a similar range are ; % % 266E266 82.6 Cd 17.4 Zn 271MP 100 Bi 280E2

were looking at paste, wire, preforms and solder bars (for solder pots), concentraiting on HMP, sn62,96S, and 2 different sac alloys, we also have 7 different fluxes and 16 temination inks (which were also having to change for RoHS because the ink co
