SAC405 is a lead-free solder alloy made up of 95.5% tin, 4% silver, and 0.5% copper, with a melting point of 217-219°C (423-426°F). It's a go-to choice for reflow soldering, wave soldering, and BGA/CSP packaging thanks to its high ductility and thermal fatigue resistance. The elevated silver content improves corrosion resistance and oxidation protection. NSF-compliant for potable water systems, it also works well for hand soldering, rework, and precision prototyping in solid-core wire and bar form.
Features:
- Low melting point of approximately 217-219°C (423-426°F)
- Reliable joints with high termal cycling resistance.
- Excellent Wetting Properties, ideal for fine-pitch components and Ball Grid Array (BGA) soldering.
- The higher silver content improves resistance to oxidation and environmental degradation.
