Cookson Electronics has extended its range of lead-free solders with the introduction of Alpha SACX0807, a low-Ag wave soldering alloy.

The company said Alpha SACX0807 offers performance similar to SAC305 on complex, dual-sided assemblies where excellent wetting is required.

Cookson Electronics has extended its range of lead-free solders with the introduction of Alpha SACX0807, a new low-Ag wave soldering alloy.

It added that it exhibits high mechanical reliability, even after high-stress thermal cycling.

The addition of Alpha SACX0807 extends the SACX family of products.

Alpha SACX 0307 delivers good soldering and reliability for both single-sided and standard complexity dual-sided assemblies.

Alpha SACX 0807 offers soldering performance and reliability similar to SAC305; for use on complex, dual-sided assemblies where high wetting force and fast wetting speed are required.

Alpha SACX DT has been developed to minimise Cu erosion associated with the longer contact times required during selective soldering and rework operations.

Alpha SACX HASL has been developed to deliver smooth, uniform pad finish, while minimising Cu erosion during the plating process.

The Alpha SACX family of products is available in standard bar, feeder bar and wire forms.
