Hello Rich,

The component vendor does not seem to understand the soldering process.
You need to reflow to suit the solder paste not the metal being soldered
to.

regards,
Phil.

Subject: [TN] Backward Compatibility of Tin Electroplating


Does anyone have any reason to suspect that tin electroplated SM
components being soldered with a 63/37 solder paste require a profile
that must exceed the reflow temperature of tin?

Being told by a component vendor this is the case.  I would totally
discount this but seem to recall reading this more than once on some
other component Tech data sheets. I can't explain why this would be
necessary, but.....

Any thoughts would be appreciated. 

Rich K / Kimball
