Nihon Superior to Highlight TempSave Soldering Materials and SN100CV P608 Paste at SMTAI
October 5, 2021 | Nihon Superior Co. Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Nihon Superior Co. Ltd., an advanced joining material supplier, is pleased to announce that it will exhibit its TempSave series in Booth #3301 at the SMTA International Exposition, scheduled to take place November 3-4, 2021 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, MN. The company also will showcase SN100CV P608 solder paste.
Nihon Superior’s TempSave™ series of low temperature soldering materials has been designed to address the industry’s goals of reduced peak reflow temperature to reduce defects contributing to package warpage, reduce energy consumption during the reflow process, and avoid potential damage to temperature sensitive devices. TempSave B58 is a eutectic SnBi alloy with a melting point of 139°C while TempSave B37 is a ductile hypoeutectic SnBi alloy and does not contain Ag.
High bismuth containing alloys are known to be brittle and therefore poor in drop shock performance. However, TempSave B37 has outstanding drop performance, even dramatically outperforming SAC305. The halogen-free P610 flux medium is specifically designed for Bi alloys. The TempSave B37 P610 solder paste can be reflowed with a peak temperature of 190°C. Additionally, TempSave B37 is available as a flux cored wire.
SN100CV® P608 is a completely halogen free, lead-free, no-clean solder paste. Unlike silver- containing alloys that derive their strength from a dispersion of fine particles of eutectic Ag3Sn, SN100CV gains its strength from solute atoms in the tin matrix of the joint. Although silver-free, in tensile tests the SN100CV alloy matches the strength of SAC305 while maintaining a high level of resistance to impact loading. LF-C2 is a high reliability lead-free alloy as it uses both dispersion and solid solution strengthening. With a liquidus temperature of 213°C it can be reflowed at a lower temperature than SAC305.
The P608 flux medium provides wetting comparable with that of halogen containing paste even though it is completely halogen-free. SN100CV P608 and LF-C2 both deliver excellent performance over a wide range of component types and process parameters.
Nihon Superior continues to offer solutions to the challenges facing the electronics industry, such as improvements in reliability, thermally stable joining, and lead-free die attach.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
