Superior Family of Tin and Tin-Alloy Coatings for Electronics.
AnoTin coatings offer readily-solderable deposits of varying melting points and excellent as-deposited luster.
AnoTin Coating |
Coating Characteristics |
AnoTin AB | Pure, bright tin deposit with aesthetic appearance suitable for exposed sheet metal parts. |
AnoTin AM | Pure, matte tin with best solderability and lowest carbon content. |
AnoTin LB | Brightened 60% tin / 40% lead with lowest melting point (360 F). |
AnoTin LM Matte 60% tin /40% lead. | Readily solderable to a high degree. |
AnoTin LL | Brightened 93% tin / 7 % lead alloy that prevents tin whiskers and reduces lead content. |
Ano Tin IM | Immersion tin deposit of 10 to 25 microinches thickness for coating copper, brass, and copper alloy parts. |
These versatile tin and tin-alloy coatings exceed a wide range of industrial specifications as well as the following standard requirements:
AnoTin Type | Gov't | ASTM | AMS |
AB, AM | MIL-T-10727 | B 545 | 2408 |
LB, LM , LL | MIL-P-81728 | B 579 | NA |
IM | MIL-T-81955 | NA | 2409 |
Anoplate performs routine solderability tests to ensure compliance with governing specifications, including Method 208 of MIL-STD-202. Carbon content of the deposit is analyzed as-required to minimize the co-deposition of organic matter (carbon) in the coating.
Thickness and composition are closely-controlled using X-ray fluorescence technology measured directly on your parts [see photo below].
Key Advantages
- Readily solderable
- Can be applied over various underplates to tailor the coating system to your application (nickel, electroless nickel, copper)
- Can be applied to nearly any substrate material
- Can be reflowed for enhanced aesthetics, solderability, and storage life
