Subject: Running with sn100c in my solder pot!
On Saturday the 3rd, I offloaded nearly 1200 pounds of solder from my Electrovert, did the tin purge and loaded nearly 1200 pounds of sn100c back into my solder pot. It was a hell of a job, but we got it done in 8 hours. We've been running with this alloy for four days now and I'll just have to admit that it rocks! Here's why. I'm running the pot temp at 490F about 10F over where I was and I havent changed the base profiles much on our circuit boards. This stuff drosses very little and I haven't added any solder since monday. All in all I am very pleased with its performance. Additionally we are running damn close to no solder bridging on our assemblies. Just thought I'de share the good news. Jay
