TECHNICAL BULLETIN
BOW # 1175
NO CLEAN SOLDER PASTE
Description :
The No-Clean solder cream is designed to meet requirements for reliable solder joints in SMT PC board assemblies. This cream was formulated to replace RMA and water-soluble creams with the benefits of eliminating the added steps of potentially hazardous and costly solvent cleaning or DI water cleaning. This formula was designed to have a wider process window and better compatibility with OSP’s than previous no-clean formulations. This formulation exhibits long print life in continuous printing operations.

Scope :
This specification covers the solder paste NC-1175; 89.5-90.5% for stencil printing and 86-87% for dispensing in interconnection of surface mount devices.

Performance and Standard :
Stencil Life 12-18 hours under proper process parameters
Tack Time 18-24 hours under proper process parameters
Solder Alloys 63Sn/37Pb; 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag; 60Sn/40Pb; 96.5Sn/3.5Ag; 95Sn/5Sb; 95Sn/5Ag; 10Sn/88Pb/2Ag; 43Sn/43Pb/14Bi, 42Sn/58Bi (Other alloys available upon request)
