A key result of the JCAA/JG-PP study on the reliability of lead-free solders is that in vibration testing of wave soldered PDIP components Nihon Superior’s SN100C outperformed the 95.5Sn-3.9Ag-0.6Cu alloy as well as 63Sn-37Pb by a substantial margin.
This result was reported in the JCAA/JG-PP JTR (Joint Test Report) Executive Summary released on April 4‚ 2006.
