Analytical Procedures for Portable Lead-Free Alloy Test Data

Document #:
IPC-SPVC-LAT
Revision
Original Version
Product Type
White Paper
Released:  05/19/2010
Language
English
Current Revision
If not completely characterized, many of the early lead-free alloys’ reliability properties are better understood than those of the new alloys being introduced today. Therefore, it can be quite difficult to compare alloy properties. The lack of reliability characterization of new materials introduces uncertainty for the user. To address this problem, the IPC Solder Products Value Council (IPC SPVC...

There are a large number of new lead-free alloys that address the manufacturing problems inherent in current lead-free products on the market. However, their reliability properties are less understood than many of the first alloys introduced, for example SAC 305. While it is tempting to look to the new alloys as solutions to manufacturing issues of the older materials, the lack of reliability...
