ALPHA Vaculoy SACX0307 is a lead-free alloy suitable for use as a replacement for Sn63 alloy in the wave solder process. The SACX0300 variant is used to stabilize / reduce the copper content in the wave solder bath, this requirement will depend on process conditions. As with all Alpha Metals bar solder, Alpha’s proprietary Vaculoy™ alloying process is used to remove certain impurities, particularly oxides. The product is further enhanced with the addition of 2 minor elements to reduce dross formation and improve the joint cosmetics. Melting point of SACX 307 alloy: 217-228° C
Features:
- Yield – Comparable to SAC305, superior performance for bridging compared to Sn99.3/Cu0.7 based alloys.
- Wetting Speed – 0.75 seconds typical wetting speed compares to SAC305 at 0.65 sec and superior to Sn99.3/Cu0.7 based alloys at 1.0 sec.
- Dross Generation – lowest in class due to the Vaculoy process in conjunction with the addition of a dross reducing agent.
Benefits: - Lowers Total Cost of Ownership due to the lower material cost, high yields and low dross generation.
- Gives very good solderability due to the fast wetting speed.
- Gives very good drainage and hence lower levels of bridges due to the formulation containing Silver.
- Delivers good performance across a range of flux technologies.
