More info
Gold-Germanium Alloy Solder Ribbon/Sheet, consisting of 88% gold and 12% germanium, is known for its low vapor pressure, low base resistance, and low melting point. It offers excellent adhesion to substrates and high thermal and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for a variety of soldering applications. As an eutectic solder, it is widely used in chip bonding and packaging, particularly in the electronics industry, vacuum devices, and high-temperature soldering applications. This alloy is commonly used for brazing gold-plated materials, silver-plated aluminum, and other materials like Ag, Cu, Ni, and alloys in both atmospheric and H2 gas furnaces. It is especially suitable for brazing components used in high-vacuum systems. Heeger Material provides high-quality Gold-Germanium Alloy Solder Ribbon/Sheet with customized solutions to meet specific application needs.
