Nihon Reviews Lead-free Wave at Flex Conference
February 14, 2008 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
OSAKA, Japan Nihon Superior USA, a subsidiary of Nihon Superior Co. Ltd., showcased its SN100C products with FCT Assembly, a U.S.-based SN100C global partner, at the IPC's "International Conference on Flexible Circuits" in Phoenix, Ariz.
The fluidity of SN100C, described by the company as comparable to that of tin/lead, contributes to hole fill and minimal shorts in wave soldering. That property is considered an advantage in hand soldering where, in combination with the right core flux , it makes possible the completion of more than 35 average joints per minute with a tip temperature of only 380°C, Nihon noted at the conference. SN100C's Sn/Cu/Ni/Ge lead-free wave soldering alloy targets reflow and hand soldering applications. Nihon Superior offers the eCore low-spatter lead-free flux-cored solder wire as well.
