Hi Gregg - as a general rule of thumb, the industry uses the Sn63, Sn60
and Sn62 tin/lead solder alloys a interchangeable. The IPC JSTD 001E,
paragraph 3.2, lists those three alloys as interchangeable: also, the
IPC JSTD-001 Handbook and the IPC AJ 820A Handbook both have some good
information on the slight differences between the three alloys. Mixing
should not be an issue.

Subject: [TN] Mixing Solders
Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]>
I have an industry friend who asked me the following question and I did
not have a good enough reply. So I thought I would put it out there on
TechNet.
What are the possible problems with tin dipping a gold plated contact with
63/37 then soldering it in a (PCB) board using 60/40 solder ?
2. What arguments could I use to move away from using the 60/40 and use
just the 63/37 for the product (i.e. Do you believe one has any benefit
over the other)?
3. Are you aware of any problems mixing the solder types ? (63 / 37 and
60 / 40)
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
Gregg Owens
