OEM and Assembler Features and Benefits

Feature: Benefit:
Inherently resistant to microvoids Consistently strong solder joints; eliminates product defects and failures
Corrosion Inhibitor prevents Creep and Flaking Corrosion Extended product life; enhanced appearance.
Excellent Pb-free and Sn/Pb solderability Easy Pb-free process development and soldering for high yields

Bridges the gap between current Sn/Pb and future Pb-free soldering

Exceptional tarnish resistance Improved appearance
Superior contact resistance, In-Circuit Testing Performance No false failure testing or production disruptions
Proven long term reliability (SIR and EM) Confidence in protecting product value and OEM image
Excellent flux material compatibility, even with difficult to solder no-clean fluxes Greater flexibility and independence of flux choice
Solder mask compatible No solder mask requalification required
Flat co-planar finish Enables consistent SMT fine pitch printing critical to microBGA devices reliability
Robust metallic coating with chemical resistance Excellent soldering performance, even after misprint solder paste printing
Easily fabricated by all PWB makers Global performance exact for improved consistency and reduced assembly variables delivers a more predictable performance
RoHS and WEEE compliant Meets Pb-free environmental directives without increased costs; Enables OEM conversion to Pb-free
