We are running our prduction (TV's)with Lead Free Solder, since 1 year ago, but we still have a lot of Electrolityc Capacitor (Thruhole and SMT)in stock that are for PB Solder. We have to use them before February-06. Do anybody know if there is a pro

Well, most of the capacitor are thru hole, then pcb's goes to adhesive process upsidedown to continue SMT process in which , maximun tempetarure is 120�, so temperature is not problem. About SMT capacitorS, I will check temperature specs before mount

I think 10% of us already knew this. I saw the boomerang coming years ago when LF was first mentioned. Did you guys see the tin whisker mention on the History Channel last night? It was on Technological Disasters (I believe). Didn�t see WML, bu

Hi Samir, That's cos it's already an offence to sell such an item in the EU. If you even paint a childs toy with a coating of more than 0.2% lead you can face 2 years in prison (admittedly with 3 nice meals a day, internet access, gym etc - I think

thanks Rob, that really explained a lot to me. I definitely understand why it is important for the european countries. I never really thought the directive was bad in it's intentions. But you are right it is the implementation of this that is a f

Darn Rob you're brilliant You just solved the dilemma of micro cracks and hot tear in lead free, just add a softer metal like.....and the joints won't crack. You wrote "BTW: Lead is far softer & dissolves far more easily than copper or tin, hence wh

Rob It's documented that lead doesn't leach out of landfills. So, how does Eurolanders health become affected by lead in landfilled electronic products? Isn't the potential for lead poisioning from using leaded glass greater a danger? Given that

Does any one out there know if CSM84V and CSM84VZ can do 0402 parts ? If so, do they actually make 8mmx2mm feeders for these machines. I've had someone tell me they do, but i can't seem to find those feeders anywhere. thank you

Inds, It's about time that lead-free components can stand higher temps "myth" stops. The only difference is the plating, the component itself has not changed. Can you give us an update on this threat? If you�re the same inds http://www.smtnet.com//

So, it looks like the backward compatible of BGA statement is not guarantee for solder joint reliability. It doesn�t matter what temperature and what melting sequence we have in order to avoid the solder void issue. Is Pb diffused homogeneously thr
