A Solution to High Temperature Applications

30 Apr, 2009

Published over 17 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Measurement and testing.

For more than 12 years, Matra Electronique (France) has been involved with the oil industry market, originally as a manufacturer of down-hole tools for drilling and production services, and lately for seismic exploration. The use of this equipment in harsh environmental conditions, especially at temperatures as high as 437°F (225°C), has lead Matra Electronique to  implement high temperature soldering processes to manufacture electronics boards and assemblies.

These processes are based on leaded and lead-free alloys; a hand soldering process with tin/lead/silver alloy and lead-free alloy: up to 300°C and a vapour phase reflow soldering process with tin/lead/antimony and lead-free: up to 250°C. The vapour phase process allows Matra to provide its clients with an alternative and economical solution for surface mount designs.
