This part of IEC 61190 prescribes the requirements and test methods for electronic grade solder alloys, for fluxed and non-fluxed bar, ribbon, powder solders and solder paste, for electronic soldering applications and for "special" electronic grade solders. For the generic specifications of solder alloys and fluxes, see ISO 9453, ISO 9454-1 and ISO 9454-2. This standard is a quality control document and is not intended to relate directly to the material's performance in the manufacturing process Special electronic grade solders include all solders which do not fully comply with the requirements of standard solder alloys and solder materials listed herein. Examples of special solders include anodes, ingots, preforms, bars with hook and eye ends, multiple-alloy solder powders, etc.

La CEI 61190-1-3:2007 prescrit les exigences et méthodes d'essai pour les alliages à braser de catégorie électronique, les brasures en baguette, en ruban et en poudre fluxées et non fluxées, et les pâtes à braser, pour les applications de brasage électronique et pour les brasures de catégorie électronique "spéciales". Pour les spécifications génériques relatives aux alliages et aux flux à braser, voir l'ISO 9453, l'ISO 9454-1 et l'ISO 9454-2. La présente norme est un document de contrôle de la qualité et n'a pas pour objet de s'intéresser directement à la performance du matériau au cours du procédé de fabrication. Les modifications principales par rapport à la première édition concernent une définition de l'alliage à braser sans plomb et un amendement au Tableau B.1 concernant les alliages à braser sans plomb.

Ta del IEC 61190 predpisuje zahteve in preskusne metode za spajkalne zlitine za uporabo v elektroniki, za spajkalni prah, pasto, trak in palice s spajkalno tekočino in brez nje, za uporabo v elektroniki in za “posebne” spajke za uporabo v elektroniki. Za rodovne specifikacije spajkalnih zlitin in tekočin glej ISO 9453, ISO 9454-1 in ISO 9454-2. Ta standard je dokument za nadzor kakovosti in ni namenjen temu, da bi se neposredno nanašal na obnašanje materiala v postopku proizvodnje. Posebne spajke za uporabo v elektroniki zajemajo vse spajke, ki ne ustrezajo popolnoma zahtevam standardnih spajkalnih zlitin in spajkalnih materialov, naštetih v tem dokumentu. Primeri posebnih spajk vključujejo anode, ingote, vnaprej oblikovane kose, palice s kavljem in zanko na koncu, spajkalne praške iz več zlitin itd.

ATTACHMENT MATERIALS FOR ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY –
Part 1-3: Requirements for electronic grade solder alloys and
fluxed and non-fluxed solid solders for electronic soldering applications
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance
with this document may involve the use of a patent concerning in particular alloy compositions. IEC takes no
position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured the IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable and

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61190 prescribes the requirements and test methods for electronic grade
solder alloys, for fluxed and non-fluxed bar, ribbon, powder solders and solder paste, for
electronic soldering applications and for “special” electronic grade solders. For the generic
specifications of solder alloys and fluxes, see ISO 9453, ISO 9454-1 and ISO 9454-2. This
standard is a quality control document and is not intended to relate directly to the material's
performance in the manufacturing process
Special electronic grade solders include all solders which do not fully comply with the
requirements of standard solder alloys and solder materials listed herein. Examples of special
solders include anodes, ingots, preforms, bars with hook and eye ends, multiple-alloy solder
powders, etc.

4 Classification
Soldering materials covered by this standard shall be classified by alloy composition, solder
form, flux type, flux percentage and by other characteristics peculiar to the solder material form.
4.1 Alloy composition
The solder alloys covered by this standard are the alloys listed in Tables B.1, B.2 and B.3 and
include pure tin and pure indium. Each alloy is identified by an alloy name composed of a
series of alphanumeric characters. These characters identify the component elements in the
alloy by chemical symbol and nominal percentage by mass. They terminate with an arbitrarily
assigned alloy variation letter (A, B, C, D). Alloys are also identified by an alloy short name.
This is an alphanumeric designation composed of the chemical symbol for the key element in
the alloy (see Clause A.4), the nominal percentage of that element in the alloy and the
arbitrarily assigned alloy variation letter.
Tables B.1, B.2 and B.3 identify alloy composition, short name and temperature characteristics;
Table B.4 cross-references solidus and liquidus temperatures to alloy names and Table B.5
cross-references ISO alloy numbers and designations from ISO 9453 to alloy names.
4.2 Solder form
Table 1 shows the forms of solder materials covered by this standard listed with their single-
letter designating symbols.

a
Fluxes are available in S (solid), P (paste/cream) or L (liquid) forms.
b
See 7.1 and 7.2 of IEC 61190-1-1 for comparisons of RO, RE, OR and IN composition classes and L, M and H
activity levels with the traditional classes such as R, RMA, RA, water soluble and low solids ”no-clean.''.
c
The 0 and 1 indicate absence and presence of halides, respectively. See 4.2.3 of IEC 61190-1-1 for an
explanation of L, M and H nomenclature.
d
ISO designations are similar to IEC designators with minor differences in characteristics
4.4 Flux percentage and metal content
The nominal percentage of flux, by mass, in solid-form solder products is identified as the flux
percentage. The flux percentage in/on solid solders is identified by a single alphanumeric
character in accordance with Table 3. “Metal content” refers to the percentage of metal in
solder paste (see IEC 61190-1-2).
