Reliability Assessment of No-clean and Water-soluble Solder Pastes Part II

Looking back twenty-five years ago,the solder pastes residues had to be cleaned after reflow due to their corrosive nature; two ways of cleaning were possible,either with solvent or by using wa .. read more

Vibration and Mechanical Shock Testing

Little data has been generated on the performance of lead-free solders under vibration and mechanical shock. What data exists suggests that lead-free solders may be less reliable than eutectic .. read more

Case Study on the Validation of SAC305 and SnCu Based Solders in SMT,Wave and Hand-soldering at the Contract Assembler Level

insure the same quality a customer has been accustomed to with a Sn63Pb37 process is achieved. The reflow,wave soldering and hand assembly processes must all be optimized carefully to insure go .. read more

A Comparison Study on Sn3.5Ag and Sn3.8Ag0.7Cu C5 Lead Free Solder System

A comparison study was carried out with Sn3.5Ag and Sn3.8Ag0.7Cu solder balls on Ball Grid Array (BGA) components with Cu/Ni/Au pad finishing. This study shows that Sn3.5Ag C5 solder system per .. read more

Effect of Voiding on Lead Free Reliability

This paper had as an aim to correlate the degree of voiding with reliability. Here the a purpose designed test vehicle was used,in which seven different solder pastes from three manufacturers w .. read more

The Effect of Ni on the Microstructure and Behaviour of the Sn-Cu Eutectic Lead-free Solder

While the Ni-stabilized Sn-0.7Cu alloy is now well established as a viable lead-free solder in large scale commercial printed circuit board assembly the effect of Ni is not yet fully understood .. read more

Reliability Testing and Failure Analysis of Lead-Free Solder Joints under Thermo-Mechanical Stress

The commercial use of lead-free solder has been making significant gains worldwide in recent years. To identify the effects of thermo-mechanical stress on Sn-Ag-Cu and Sn-Zn-Bi solder with diff .. read more

Solderability of Sn/Cu Lead-Free Solder as a HASL Bare Board Final Finish

Sn/Cu lead-free solder is a good alternative to 63/37 solder for use in HASL processes. Solderability of Sn/Cu surface exceeds that of 63/37 solder,nickel-gold,OSP,silver,and immersion tin both .. read more
