Soldering PCBs where temperature limitations are critical
and in applications where an extremely short melting
range is required
Soldering of components have silver-plated or ‘paint’ (i.e.
ceramic capacitor) finish. This solder composition is saturated with silver and prevents the scavenging of silver surfaces.
Soldering electrical wire/cable harnesses or terminal connections and for coating or pre-tinning metals
May be used for special applications such as soldering
terminal posts

• Acceptable solvents are:
–
–
–
–
ethyl alcohol (99.5% or 95% pure by volume)
isopropyl alcohol (best commercial grade, 99% pure)
deionized water at 40 oC maximum for certain fluxes (dry after use)

Principles of reliable soldered connections
• Reliable soldered connections result from proper
design, control of tools, materials and work
environments, and careful workmanship
• basic deign concepts:
–
–
–
–
–
stress relief shall be inherent in the design
where adequate stress relief is not possible, solder-joint reinforcement is necessary
materials shall be so selected that the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient is minimal
materials and processes which the formation of brittle intermetallic shall be avoided
the design shall permit inspection of the soldered joints

Whisker growth
•
•
•
Occasionally, manufactures use pure tin
finishes on their pcb’s, as may be standard
practice for their commercial products. It is
the thermal cycling environment of the
spacecraft that makes this option extremely
dangerous, as it can promote the growth of tin
whiskers from sites within pure tin plated
through holes.
Terminal posts for pcb’s, grounding points,
and wire terminals and lugs for crimping
operations are frequently machined from
either copper or brass and simply tin-plated to
achieve a reasonable solderability and
protection from surface corrosion. This occurs
mainly with standard off-the-self items.
Tin-plated brass shows a short nucleation
period and produces whiskers with growth
rates of 8m per day.
