AUTOMATED TINNING & ALLOY REFRESH OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

In the realm of electronics manufacturing, the longevity and reliability of components is important. Retronix’s automated tinning and alloy refresh services stand at the forefront. Designed to meet the rigorous standards of GEIA-STD-0006, our processes provide a comprehensive solution for alloy conversion, micro device tinning, tin whisker mitigation, and addressing gold embrittlement issues.

Why choose Retronix's automated tinning service?

Enhanced Longevity & Reliability: It significantly extends the life of the electronic components. By converting alloy on devices and refreshing the oxidised alloy, we ensure that your components withstand the test of time, even in harsh environments.

Tin Whisker Mitigation: Tin whiskers pose a significant concern in electronic assemblies. The Retronix automated solder conversion to Pb (Lead) solder mitigates this risk, ensuring the safety and functionality of high reliability defence, aerospace, space applications.

Gold Embrittlement Solution: Gold in solder joints lead to brittle connections. Our process not only de-golds devices but also re-tins them to eliminate this risk, promoting stronger and more reliable solder joints.

Versatility in alloy conversion: Whether it’s converting from lead to lead-free alloys or vice versa, our automated process accommodates a wide range of materials, including SAC305 and SN63Pb37. This flexibility is vital for organisations aiming to comply with various regulatory requirements or seeking to enhance product performance.

Quality Assurance: At Retronix quality is at the core. Our in-house testing suite confirms the success of our processes, providing you with peace of mind and assurance of high-reliability outcomes.
