250 tons/month) and, as it has been stated here, many customers have switched from SAC305 to SN100C but we are not aware of any customer who has switched from SN100C to SAC305. As the inventor of SN100C states, �once a customer touches the SN100C, he

I have had Selective issues such as yours on two very different Selective Solder Machines. I was able to eliminate these issues by using Alpha EF-9301 wave flux with any SAC305 solder. It's a more aggressive flux, but really made the difference. Anot

Hi Cardinal, OK. Thank's. It's all right. What do you about SAC305 ? Do we use a linear melting too ?

They are all compatible with each other. Data is at alpha metals website and FCT assembly Russ

I have used SnBi from Alpha, and it worked well. The only issue I found is that you cannot have ANY Pb contamination.

Hello Bachman. SAC305 is the most common lead-free solder alloy, not only for wave soldering but also selective. Most of our selective customers (especially automotive) are using SAC305. What is more important than the alloy to consider is the flux

By and large, the industry has determined that SAC alloys are the "best fit" for replacement of SnPb in our industry. SAC305 seems to be the default alloy at this time. There are several other alloys out there, each with their own strengths and weakn

There are competitors to REL solder alloys from AIM. Tin-Copper-Nickel-Bismuth alloys (Nihon Superior) are an alternative option which do very well in thermal cycle testing. The reflow profiles required are similar to SAC305 profiles. You may als

We too are trialling WS819 with SAC305 alloy. The foaming in cleaning causes us a headache but all other attributes seem much improved over earlier types. Previously we were using WS619 - no foaming issues but MUCH shorter stencil life (less than 4 h
