Fill the Void VII - New Research by Tony Lentz

FCT Solder’s Tony Lentz recently presented his research Fill the Void VII: A Continuing Study of the Impact of Solder Alloy on Voiding in Solder Joints at IPC APEX 2024. But don’t worry if you weren’t there – we have the paper, the presentation AND the video all right here!

AMP Wash - FREE Webinar!

Join presenter and AMP Wash expert, Tony Lentz to learn more about the technical specs of AMP Wash, as well as the development process behind it. Our goal for AMP Wash was to bring the same standard that the industry has come to expect from No Cleans, to the Water Soluble market. Discover what benefits AMP Wash can bring to your process in this free webinar. Click the image to watch now!

Introducing: AMP Wash!

FCT Solder is proud to unveil our latest solder paste innovation: AMP Wash. This solder paste is easily washable under low stand-off components, and offers ultra-low voiding throughout a wide range of humidity. Take advantage of the newest product in our amplifying series of solder pastes.

A few weeks weeks ago, Tony Lentz gave a webinar about low temperature solders. This webinar covered the basics and more of low temp solder, compared them to other solder alloys, discussed some of their pros and cons, and more. If you weren’t there to catch it live, don’t worry! We posted the whole video right here.

INTRODUCING...AMP OnePT

Introducing the next-generation Process Amplifying product from FCT Solder, AMP OnePT. AMP OnePT features a pin-testable flux residue, extensive reliability testing, and the unmatched ultra-low voiding standard set by the original AMP One paste. Electronics assemblers are faced with unique challenges, and the strengths of this novel solder paste are designed to meet those very challenges. Reach out and start your process amplifying evaluation today.

WIL-1 Flux

WIL-1 is a VOC FREE low activity and solids, no-clean, wave soldering flux. It is designed to make the transition from tin-lead to lead-free wave soldering as efficient and profitable as possible. WIL-1 provides best-in-class productivity combining extremely high electrical reliability with excellent solderability, ultra-low residue, and no white residues. It also boasts no copper greening and superior top-side hole-fill.

LF-C2 High-Reliability Solder Paste

Because of its creep-resistant properties, FCT Solder’s LF-C2 alloy is a common choice for underhood applications that have high operating temperatures. Thermal cycling weakens solder joints over a product’s life cycle. That, in turn, leads to vibration and shock issues. LF-C2 alloy’s strength creates high-integrity solder joints that hold up during harsh conditions.

LED Solder Assembly

We take a solution-driven approach to all of our products.

With the ability to print at up to 150mm/sec, our no-clean, lead-free solder pastes have become the gold standard for LED applications. For our LED solder materials, we asked:

What if we could eliminate (or dramatically reduce) the chances of thermal voiding for our customers’ products?

What Customers Say:

“I just wanted to give you some feedback on the FCT type 4 lead-free solder paste. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised with the result! The material spread well, printed great (nice defined bricks, even on the fine pitch square apertures). The solder joints looked great and had very good pad wetting.

We were able to leave it on the stencil while at lunch and upon returning, the first print looked just as good as the first print of the day. So all things considered, it is a great product and I will definitely be buying FCT paste now. Thanks for recommending it!”
