SOLDER MATERIALS
Improving the PCB Assembly Manufacturing Process by an Alternative Solder Paste: A Statistical Evaluation

An evaluation of solder paste printing performance of a novel Pb-free solder paste compared to traditional solder materials under harsh environments across a range of components as small as 01005. A detailed statistical analysis identifies the relationship between the condition of the solder paste and paste volume on the pad.
