New distribution for lead-free solder for high temperature applications

2 June 2004 News

W.C. Heraeus’ Circuit Materials Division has acquired the world-wide exclusive licence from Pfarr Stanztechnik for Landal-Seal, a lead-free solder as an alternative for tin-silver-copper (TSC). It is locally represented by E.I.S.

Landal-Seal solder is characterised by its very good temperature resistance in applications with alternating temperatures between -40 and +150°C. Therefore, it is perfectly suitable for high temperature applications in fields like automotive and semiconductor.

Additional advantages

Compared with lead containing standard alloys additional advantages are, besides the temperature resistance, the lower melting point of 214°C as well as the superior brightness of the solder joint.

W.C. Heraeus says that the main application of Landal-Seal is in the automotive industry, because here high temperature applications become more important.

The exclusive licence covers sales and production of solder pastes, powders and filled wires, containing the patented alloy Landal-Seal. More products based on Landal-Seal such as solder bars, balls, unfilled wires, tapes and punchings are distributed by Pfarr Stanztechnik, directly.
