Product Data Sheet
Bar Solder
Introduction
Indium Corporation manufactures bar solder specifically to
surpass the strict quality demands of the surface mount
industry in order to provide more consistent and reliable
performance. Bar solder is available in a full range of SnPb
and Pb-free alloys, including industry standard Sn63, and
SAC305. To eliminate the chance of contaminating Pb-free
solder with Pb, ingots come in two shapes to designate the
alloy. All bar solder complies with the requirements of ASTM
B-32, J-Std 006 (formerly QQS-571F) and JIS Z 3282.
Indium Corporation also features RoHS compliant Sn995
Pb-Free Bar Solder (99.5Sn, 0.5Cu + Co), which is
manufactured from electrolytically processed tin, copper
and cobalt to create a solder so pure it far exceeds the
most common specification requirements. The addition of
cobalt forms shiny, uniform joints, and reduces the amount
of dross generated during wave soldering. The melting Pb-Free Bar Solder
point is approximately 228°C and recommended operating
temperatures are between 260-270°C. Technical Support

Ask Us About…
The Solder and Solder Dross Recycle Program is a service
offered by Indium Corporation to complete the usage cycle
for bar solder. Up to 50% of bar solder used in wave solder-
ing will be converted to dross, which still contains mostly
usable metal. Indium Corporation can recycle these materi-
als and return the metal value to you as a credit, or convert
them to usable bar for a fee. During an alloy switch-over,
use Indium Corporation’s recycling service to reclaim value
on the pot dump and leftover bar. For more information
