Tin Silver Solder: Strengthening Thermal Fatigue Resistance in Advanced Electronics

Tin Silver Solder is a lead-free solder alloy primarily composed of tin (Sn) and silver (Ag), engineered for high-reliability electronic and electrical interconnections. It is widely used in printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, semiconductor packaging, automotive electronics, and aerospace applications where strong mechanical bonding and superior thermal fatigue resistance are required. Compared to traditional tin-lead solders, tin-silver alloys exhibit higher melting points, improved joint strength, and excellent wetting on copper and nickel-plated surfaces. The most common formulations include Sn96.5Ag3.5, Sn95Ag5, and Sn98Ag2, with optional micro-alloying elements (e.g., Cu, Bi, or Sb) to enhance performance and reduce void formation during reflow.
