- Compatible with regular flux
Description:
Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) alloys are the most commonly used lead-free solder in electronic assembly. The typical SAC solder, namely SAC305, has high joint strength, good wettability and thermal fatigue property due to moderate silver content. In comparison with Sn63Pb37, SAC305 shows better mechanical performance. Meanwhile, the wettability of SAC305 is better than those of Sn-Cu and Sn-Ag solder. Thus, SAC305 solder has been widely used in reflow soldering and manual soldering.
