Since it was first used in commercial mass production in March 1999 the number of soldering lines using Nihon Superior's SN100C stabilized tin-copper eutectic alloy has continued to grow rapidly. An opportunity for the voice of SN100C users, including some non-Japanese, to be heard in the market has been provided by a series of nine “Visit the SN100C User” articles in the leading Japanese industrial newspaper. All of these users set a high value on SN100C, because it provides good solderability and smooth, bright, well-formed fillets while providing joint reliability at least equal to that of Sn63/Pb37.
Users also point out how easy it is to recycle and the cost advantage of not containing silver contents.
These reports provide an explanation of why the use of SN100C is spreading so rapidly. |
