SN100C® Solder Bar – Approx. 1 kg (Price per kg)
SN100C® from Balver Zinn is one of the world's most widely used lead-free solder alloys for electronics production, developed for companies seeking high process stability, low operating costs, and consistent solder quality. This variant is supplied as solder bars in approximately 1 kg ingots and is suitable for professional wave and selective soldering processes.
SN100C® is a eutectic tin-copper alloy stabilized with nickel and enhanced with germanium to permanently reduce oxidation of the solder. This combination results in a stable soldering process, reduced dross formation, and excellent solder joints with high reliability.
World-renowned lead-free solder alloy
SN100C® was developed as a cost-effective alternative to silver-containing lead-free alloys and is now used by electronics manufacturers worldwide. The alloy is known for its stable process behavior and excellent soldering properties in standard electronics, industrial electronics, and advanced electronics applications.
The nickel-stabilized structure helps ensure consistent solder joints, while germanium reduces oxidation in the solder bath and contributes to lower material consumption.
Reduces oxidation and dross formation
One of the key characteristics of SN100C® is its ability to reduce oxidation in the solder bath. This leads to:
• Lower dross formation
• Reduced material waste
• More stable process over time
• Consistent soldering results
• Excellent and shiny solder joints
These properties make SN100C® a popular choice among companies looking to optimize both quality and operational economy.
Suitable for wave and selective soldering
SN100C® is specifically developed for industrial soldering processes and is suitable for:
• Wave soldering
• Selective soldering
• Dip soldering
• Electronics production in larger series
• Industrial electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Production with high demands for quality and process control
The alloy can be used in both atmospheric air and nitrogen environments and delivers stable results in modern production facilities.
Ideal for initial fill and maintenance of solder baths
The kilogram bars are suitable for both initial filling and ongoing maintenance of solder baths, where flexible handling of the solder material is desired. Their smaller size makes them easy to dose and handle in connection with operation and process optimization.
