    Description

    ATTRIBUTES
    Nathan Trotter NT100Ge is produced using the identical chemical composition as SN100C® marketed by Nihon Superior and its licensees*, NT100Ge can be used as a drop-in replacement for any existing 99C or SN100C solder bath, without the need for pot dumps or swaps. The eutectic tin-copper-nickel-germanium alloy creates a shiny, smooth, robust interconnect for a wide range of electronics assembly requirements. With a melting temperature of 227C, 441°F, NT100Ge is compatible with all wave and selective solder equipment. Similar to the effect of phosphorous in Sn63 alloys, the small addition of Germanium in NT100Ge serves as a de-oxidant, which keeps drossing to a minimum. For PCB fabrication applications such as the hot air solder leveling (HASL) process during which copper levels increase, NT100GeX provides a low-copper solder solution.
    DESCRIPTION
    NT100Ge is available as extruded 2.7 lb. bars
    • Consistently smooth and shiny solder joint
    • Low-cost, lead-free solder alloy (no silver content)
    • Superior wetting and performance
    • Minimal dross
    • Eutectic properties create efficient melting and freezing
    • Operating temperature of 290°C - 320°C, similar to other lead-free solders
    *This solder alloy was previously subject to a patent (US6180055) that expired in March 2019. Nihon Superior Sha Co., Ltd. holds a separate patent for a solder joint
    (US8999519B2) with a distinct chemical composition, consisting of, among other things, either exactly .01% by weight Cu or 7.6% by weight Cu. NT100Ge has a certified
    copper content of .5-.7% which lies significantly outside the solder joint patent criteria. If there are concerns about the full scope of the US8999519B2 patent or solder joint
    composition, please consult an attorney. Nathan Trotter & Co., Inc. does not possess or confer to customers any intellectual property rights relating to the composition of
    their solder joints or the name SN100C®, which is a registered trademark of Nihon Superior Sha Co., Ltd.
