Since Japan is almost 100% lead free, what have they chosen as their best alloy? or Europe?
Just a thought.

Hi Ramon,
It will be interesting to see what Technet response is to this. My
personal opinion is that the industry is narrowing on the SAC alloy
(Tin/Silver/Copper). I also believe that the SAC 305 (3% Silver 0.5 %
copper, balance tin) will be the leading alloy. There is a significant
amount of R&D work looking at lower temperature alloys including Bismuth
and Zinc, but none of these are mainstream options yet.

Technetters:
Last time I checked there were more than a dozen different types
of lead free solders. Has the industry chosen the best one? Or is it
still experimenting with different types?
Regards,
Ramon
