HALT Test ResultsHALT Test ResultsLead-Free HASL, with all different solderpastes pooled together, required the most energy (G-force + thermo-cycling) to break the solder joints.
Since this test takes out the failure effect of the components, we can conclude that lead-free HASL solderjoints outperform all other surface finishes, including SnPb HASL.

• Lower copper content of alloy increases solderabilitypp y y• Standard Drossing of solder pot is not enough to keep copper content below 0.90%
• Recommend a 1/4 1/4 ‐‐ 1/3 1/3 solder pot dump once weekly measurement reaches 0.90%

• No Solderability Issues at any customer• No Solderability Issues at any customer– Fab Notes
• Fab notes can specify the use of these coupons or range of solder thickness standards
– Forcing your supplier to meet these specs will give you:

– Standardize your fab notes to remove risk of f i d tnon‐performing products
– Improve your supply base
