The .5% of copper allows better dissolution of a small amount of copper from the pads/leads during soldering.

Subject: Re: [TN] Soldering with Sn9,5Ag3,5

Could anybody on the TechNet planet tell me the primarily reasons for using this Sn96,5Ag3,5 solder alloy?
It looks like this alloy has been already in use for some years as solder wires and solder paste for small electronic modules.
Also, I seem to remind that this was the first alloy of choice for lead-free BGA spheres before the industry consensus for SAC.
Why did the industry switch to SAC instead of SnAg? In other words, what does the copper bring?
