“Advanced Circuits is one of a limited number of PCB manufacturers in the USA offering a complete lead- free solder alternative,” said Tony Garramone, corporate training manager at Advanced Circuits. “We strive to stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers with the most current technology. Any printed circuit board that we produce whether prototype or production is free of mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenyl ethers.”
Benefits of Advanced Circuits lead- free solder:
· A lead- free finish at no additional cost to leaded solder
· Processing at or near temperatures used for leaded solder application
· Flatter pad surfaces than leaded solder
· Compatibility with lead- free solder alloys and leaded solder used in assembly
Advanced Circuits’ lead- free boards are produced using a lead- free alloy of 99.3 percent tin and 0.6 percent copper with a trace of nickel (SN100CL). This solder offers an excellent alternative to more expensive lead- free finishes.
Advanced Circuits is also stocking a variety of higher temperature laminates for use in conjunction with the lead- free solder finishes, which are designed to withstand processing temperatures between 260° and 288° C, depending on the laminate system the designer chooses.
