Contact the Indium Corporation. They deal with many LMP solder alloys
and I suspect would have some good information/thoughts on this topic.

Subject: [LF] Low Melting Point over High Melting Point solders

I am not an expert in solder applications, so I thought I'd send this
request to the forum for discussion:

I have one small question to pose:-  We are making multi layer ceramic
EMI
Filter . We are using HMP solder for making contact with disoidal
capacitor
which is under exemption but over it we are doing one dip of lmp solder
. Is
it ok to use lmp solder over Hmp solder as mother guidelines clause no7
suggest any solder will be ok with HMp solder. We are at crossroads and
got
stuck up at this point .Pl give us some clear insight and guidelines
over
it.
