Christopher Associates, a pioneering supplier and distributor to the electronics and photovoltaic industries announces that Jasbir Bath, Consulting Engineer with Christopher Associates/Koki Solder, will moderate Session S23, titled "Low Silver Alloys,: at the upcoming IPC/APEX conference and exhibition, scheduled to take place April 6-8, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center in Las Vegas. The meeting will take place Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Lead-free high silver containing alloys such as Sn3Ag0.5Cu have not yet proven themselves in attachment reliability in extreme shock and vibration performance. There has been a tendency to assess low silver alloys, such as Sn1Ag0.5Cu for BGA/CSP components. This session tackles the need for data on lead-free for a new class of low silver alloys with speakers ranging from OEM, EMS, material supplier companies and research universities.
