Tinning and gold removal process definition and control


Tinning and gold removal process definition and control

Lead tinning is per IPC J-STD for soldering J-STD-001F module #3 and J-STD-001FS #6 , Space Addendum. (Requirements for Soldered Electrical & Electronic Assemblies).
Fancort is IPC J-STD-001ES CERTIFIED for tinning Space Grade flat packs and quad packs.
Tinning is done on our automated LTS200 machine. (for special cases due mainly to devise lead, package dimensions and uniqueness of proximity , hand tinning maybe need to be used)
Fancort tinning is done in a 100% inert Nitrogen environment.
Solder used is 63/37 Ultra pure standard.
Fancort uses a non-flux process utilizing an automated tinning machine, Nitrogen blanket and incorporating dual dynamic pot process
Fancort's tinning standard is: No Flux.
Per IPC J-STD-001E & -001ES. "For surface mounted parts, the gold shall be removed from at least 95% of the total gold plated surface to be soldered."
Fancort’s tinning process is not intended to eliminate and/or reduce the growth of tin whiskers on lead free (tin plated) leads.
Fancort's solder pot testing complies with IPC-J-STD- 001E contamination limits. (Table 3-1 on page 7).
Fancort standard Mil-spec process is a double dip procedure to remove the gold first, then add the solder coating.
Fancort's standard target for lead tinning is "about ½ way up the leg. This will give full heel coverage for excellent lead soldering to the PC Board via a nicely coated foot radius.
The “½ way up the leg” standard – visual goal, is tough to gauge and accurately control, Especially on Bottom exit and or on some side exit parts with short leg lengths “A” +”J”. For TOP Brazed -Exit parts this result of ½ way up the leg is much more consistently achievable , and has not presented many issues.

Important note: Interestingly , The IPC standard allows -"up to the package but not touching it including the upper radius " this is easier to measure and inspect visually , but apparently and understandable not acceptable to all customers.

Solder alloys used for solder dip are in accordance with J-STD-006, or equivalent, and shall contain a minimum of 3% lead. Hot solder dip meets the tinning requirements of ANSI/IPC J-STD-001E, Class 3, and tinned leads shall meet the solder-ability requirements of J-STD-002, Category 3.
