Bar Solder

Alpha MacDermid offers the industry’s largest range of solid solder products in a variety of forms, including ingots, solid wire and chunks. These products are designed for use in wave, selective and dip soldering applications. A proprietary manufacturing process produces consistently high-purity electronic solders in a variety of alloys.

High silver content bar solder

High silver content, lead-free alloys for wave and selective soldering applications
Excellent yield that outperforms all Sn/Cu-based materials
Fast wetting for excellent solderability
Lower level of bridging compared to Sn/Cu alloys
High mechanical reliability
Excellent performance with a wide range of fluxing technologies

Low silver content bar solder

Lead-Free Alloys
Lower material costs compared to SAC305
Fast wetting and wide process window
Low dross formation
Low copper dissolution (low copper leaching)

Silver-free bar solder

Silver-free lead-free alloy for wave, selective and rework applications
Reliability comparable to silver-containing alloys in terms of thermal fatigue resistance and joint strength
Lower total cost of ownership due to lower material costs, high yield and a wide process window
Excellent wetting performance and low defect rate
Lowest dross formation
Good performance in various soldering processes

Lead-containing bar solder

Increases the production speed
Minimises dross formation
Reduces bridging
Suitable for soldering densely populated PCBs
Solders at lower crucible temperature
