Product Description
EnviroMarkTM 907 is a lead-free, air and nitrogen breflowable no-clean solder paste specifically designed for the thermal requirements of lead free alloys, including the Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 alloy. The paste flux system allows joint appearances that closely resemble that achieved with SnPb alloys. EM907 is capable of stencil printing downtimes up to 60 minutes with an effective first print down to 20 mils without any kneading. EM907 also exhibits excellent continual printability for fine pitch (0.4mm/16 mils) and is able to print at high speeds up to 6”/s (150 mm/s). This solder paste also exceeds the reliability standards required by J-STD-004.
