Circuits Assembly - March 2008 - (Page 19) Finally, a Pb-free solder paste that takes a shine to ENIG/gold PC boards. Introducing NC-560-LF, the Pb-free no-clean solder paste designed for hard-to-solder metallization surfaces Nothing increases production yields like AMTECH’s NC-560-LF, the lead-free, no-clean solder paste for hard-to-solder metallization surfaces, including ENIG (Gold), OSP, HASL and immersion silver boards.This fully RoHS-compliant solder paste delivers unparalleled lot-to-lot and stencil printing consistency, and enhanced solderability due to superior print performance characteristics, including excellent wetting and activity, ideal viscosity, long stencil life, thermal stability up to 300 C, and minimal residue. NC-560-LF solder paste is also low beading, low voiding, and anti-tombstoning to reduce scrap and rework. Looking to strike it rich with greater hourly throughput? Call AMTECH today, and you’ll be golden. o AMTECH www.amtechsolder.com 75 School Ground Rd., Branford, CT 06405 USA (800) 435-0317 • (203) 481-0362 • Fax (203) 481-5033 FILLING THE VOID http://www.amtechsolder.com
