Abstract The change to lead-free solders in electronic assemblies created a need to replace tin-lead solderable termination finishes with materials such as pure tin or soft gold, on electronic components and substrates. Gold presented a risk of Solder Joint Embrittlement , which could reduce the Joint mechanical durability. Several case studies were run, because Solder Joint Embrittlement prevention requires a clear understanding of the materials and mechanisms of Embrittlement . We confirmed two known mechanisms and verified two other ways in which gold finishes can degrade Solder joints.
Case Study 1 Data . A connector pin with gold over nickel finish design was hot solder dipped with Sn63Pb37 solder alloy. The gold layer was fully dissolved.
