Fancort is the industry leader in component lead preparation services for the Semiconductor and Aerospace industries. We have over thirty-six years of experience in lead forming of a wide variety of packages, including large and small flatpacks and quadpacks, DIPs, fiberoptic headers and devices that require conversion from through-hole to SMT. We use our unique universal and dedicated tooling systems and complete process control to ensure accuracy and quick turnaround of your parts to JEDEC and/or mil-spec dimensions, with optional services such as leak testing and tinning if required.

Options
Lead tinning to Mil and NASA std 8739.2 8199 "workmanship std. for SMT" and Mil 2003.7 and Mil specs "QQ-S-571F"
"Flux", for Gold leaded parts, is used at Fancort's discretion. Fancort's standard is: No Flux, no clean flux or OA Flux per J004
Flux is a cleaning process that is normally not needed for high reliability Gold parts. NOTE: Rosin based fluxes are available, and can be special ordered. Please let us know what mil specs you need and your fluxing criteria
Per Mil Std 2000A and J Std. Mil Std 200A section 5.3.1.3 "For surface mounted parts, the gold shall be removed from at least 95% of the total gold plated surface and there shall be no gold on the to be soldered areas of the part."
Fancort's solder pot testing complies with J Std 001 contamination limits. Table 3-1 on page 5. Section 3.9.3 on page 6 for gold removal. (Similar to mil std 2000)
Fancort standard Mil-spec process is a double dip procedure to remove the gold first, then add the second coating
The normal Lead Tinning height is about 1/2 way up the leg, giving full heel coverage for excellent soldering to the PC Board
