By removing Tin-Lead (Pb) from the solder process, the use of SAC solders is suggested. The temperature of the solder bath is higher, and the Silver Gold Copper alloys do not shine as the Tin-Lead solder joints do. Speak with your Solder supplier since the SAC number reflects the composition of the alloys, i.e SAC305 solder consists of 3% silver, .05% copper, 96.5% Tin. If you are a manufacturer, and assemble your own printed circuit boards, consider becoming a member of the IPC organization. (http://www.ipc.org/). They offer both training and numerous production process literature pieces.
