Solder Material and Technologies

For a lot of applications, especially at elevated operating temperatures (e.g. automotive electronics) the limitations of solder joints are crucial. They are not yet clearly defined for lead-free solder joints, and new developments in this project cause further need for re-assessment. The limitations will be tested for different materials and designs. It will enable a matrix to recommend or disqualify materi-als and design rules for defined extreme applications.
