Pure palladium 4. soldered with either 63/37 or 2/62/36 with water wash flux now, but soon to no-clean. 5. requirements-life of 20 years. standard commercial temp cycles and limits. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: RE: Palladium finish Author: [log in to unmask] at internet Date: 5/29/96 1:58 PM Need more info: What type of components? What's the base metal? Is this a palladium alloy? With what? How will these components be soldered? What's the requirements (temp, life cycle, etc) of the assy? Simplistic questions with no info to assist those people on the Net who would like to help deserve simplistic answers with no info. ---------- From: TechNet-request To: TechNet Subject: Palladium finish Date: Sunday, May 26, 1996 11:09AM We have a vendor who is changing the metallizations of its components to palladium from tin/lead. Has anyone had problems with this? Are there problems with no-clean fluxes?
