IR reflow worked well for leaded solders but is not recommended for lead free reflow soldering. Your darker components (ICs) absorb more heat from IR than lighter colored ones (Rs & Cs). When getting all solder joints up to the proper lead free pea

Thanks for the response! I thought is was odd the component vendor chose SAC for a lead frame finish. I am in the Military world, and things have been difficult to control from a lead-free standpoint. I have not been able to find any studies on SAC

We have had VERY GOOD free tech support from Mydata. However, we bought a refurbished TP9 directly from them. I believe if you by a used MyData machine from someone else there is a fee to register your company and the machine in their system before

Is the flux rated for lead free? These higher temps will cause most lead rated fluxes to burn off prior to the wave. Jerry

Seen it. We use a lead free process, sometimes our supplier will use a lead process silk screen that burns at a lower temp. The HASL coat was still SN100CL.

hello! Can you be more precise on what you need ? like profiles in general? leaded? lead free? low temp profiles? cheers!

Pd in the termination plating, maybe? That stuff has reeked havoc on wetting for me in the past, but that was in leaded assemblies at leaded temperatures. Maybe now with Pb free temps it works better?

I've read all the SMTNet threads available on this topic, been to a couple seminars, and read some articles, and the general consensus seems to be "it can be done, but shouldn't." However, at my company, we have a Pb-Free (SAC alloy) 256 IO BGA comi

You need a paste designed specifically for this. They are available. Most have 2% silver in them and higher temp flux so you can reflow at "no-lead" temps. The silver aids in the intermaetalic bond and the high temp flux allows you to reflow the n

ok, sorry ,750 was deg F and which I said 350~400 were deg C, I got a mistake. As I know, we use 660~720 deg F to do reworking for lead free solders such as SAC series and SnCu0.7 series solder to protect irons and components on boards. when temp.
