This does not make sense. Sn96 has a higher melting temperature than Sn63. Do you mean this the other way around? What process are you describing?

Arnaud:

We use Sn96 (referred to as high-temp solder) in processes where there are two soldering operations.  Sn63 solder is used in the first operation, followed by the Sn96 in the second.  This avoids reflowing the Sn63 during the second soldering.

I don't know enough about soldering to be able to answer Juan's question.  But, if the intent is to solder the tinned wires to the board, isn't some melting of the SnPb coating on the board required?  If so, why use a high-temp solder?  Switching to ENIG gets around that issue.

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?
