I have a customer that is required to use a Lead Free solder to attach some
brass components (battery contacts) to a PCB.  What he is experiencing is
the brass will not tin using this solder.  Anyone have any suggestions:



Solder required for use:

Cookson Electronics - Alpha Cleanline 7000

Alloy 96.5Sn 3.0Ag 0.5Cu

Flux: P2



The contact material is:

360Brass



His customer is in a rush for these components, and is demanding the Pb-free
be used.



BTW - the good old fashion No-clean and Rosin (both of these have lead in
them) work great.



TIA
