Quick question, but what is the most prevelant Lead free alloy in use in Europe at present? We have a customer request to use SNC, (Tin Nickel Copper) as the final finish on lead free HAL PCB. We would prefer to use SAC (Tin Silver Copper). What issues would we need to consider if we used the SNC finish in a SAC wave solder bath? Colin McVean M.Inst.C.T.
