Wave soldering (SnPb) with PCB plating Ni/Au<br />
A wave solder machine with a double wave function (manufacturer: SEHO) was used<br />
for the trials. The machine is equipped with a spray flux dispension system and<br />
infrared heating modules. The pcb’s with preassembled components were mounted<br />
in<strong>to</strong> type-specific retaining frames which prevented the overflow of liquid solder on<strong>to</strong><br />
the components on the pcb and protected the connec<strong>to</strong>r mouldings from thermal<br />
stress.<br />

Summary:<br />
Report <strong>to</strong><br />
Qualification of a suitable leadfree termination<br />
surface for wave soldering<br />
No.: F 28-05<br />
To the preinvestigation with the wetting balance:<br />
The optical and microscope investigation of the solder termination pins shows a good wetting<br />
with a homogeneous surface and no defects.<br />
The results of the wetting balance test show very good <strong>to</strong> acceptable results for the contact<br />
stripes in the initial state and after the aging test (16h in dry heat at 155°C) for the three Sn<br />
types used (SnPb, SnAgCu and SnCu) in direct comparison <strong>to</strong> the SnPb surface used<br />
initially. The results after the steam aging (8h at 100r.H. and 96°C) show a delayed wetting<br />
and a lower wetting force for all Sn types used.<br />
To the field tests qualification:<br />
The solder joints comply with the requirements of the Class 3 acc. <strong>to</strong> the IPC 610 D in every<br />
case – the highest requirements whatsoever.<br />
Al<strong>to</strong>gether very good solder results of the extensive field tests show that delayed wetting<br />
observed in the wetting balance tests after steam aging has no negative impact.<br />
