90iSC lead-free solder alloy is said to process much like a traditional SAC alloy but with superior temperature cycling performance, consistent with or better than conventional SnPb solders. Is a multi-component alloy based on traditional SAC but with improved temperature resistance and reliability characteristics. Has a temperature cycling range from -40° to 155°C, optimized creep resistance at high temperature, vibration and drop test performance comparable to SAC and other lead-free alloys and has printing and reflow behavior consistent with alternative lead-free materials. Is compatible with several Henkel lead-free and halogen-free flux systems.
