Nihon Superior SN100CV Solder

SN100CV Ag-free reflow soldering alloy can outperform SAC 305 in reliability while being reflowable with the same thermal profile as SAC 305. Reliability and reflowability come from the addition of bismuth, but not so much as to affect performance in high strain rate loading. Is said to be as resistant to creep deformation after 1000 hr. as it was when freshly reflowed. When combined with a completely halogen-free flux medium, can deliver a cost-efficient, high yield assembly in a profile with a peak temperature under 240°C.
