Pb-Free Selective Wave Solder Guidelines for Thermally Challenging PCBs

As the use of lead-free alloys has increased in electronic assemblies,much work has been done to develop Design for Manufacturability (DFM) guidelines for the new materials. However,there are s .. read more

Reliability of Partially Filled SAC305 Through-Hole Joints

Consistently achieving acceptable wave solder through-hole fill on thick boards is a well-known process challenge,but the introduction of lead free solders has created additional difficulties. .. read more

Dynamics in Lead-Free Wave Soldering

The following report is fundamentally focused on how three popular lead-free alloys react in a wave solder application. The alloys were SAC305,SAC405 and a proprietary,low silver SAC alloy. In .. read more

Erosion of Copper and Stainless Steels by Lead-Free-Solders

An issue that has emerged from the increasing use by the electronics industry of lead-free solders in mass production wave soldering is the erosion of the copper of printed circuit board patter .. read more

Real-Life Tin-Silver-Copper Alloy Processing

The world is stating to focus on tin-silver copper as the lead-free alloy of choice. This paper discusses the commercially available tin-silver-copper alloys and their processing and reliabilit .. read more

New Challenges in Selective Soldering

Current circuit board designs,particularly those in telecommunications,are so densely populated that they do not provide enough clearance between SMT components and through-hole components to a .. read more
