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

Hi I manufacture a range of components with Ag,Pd,Pt terminatons. Has the solder wetted to the componet and is the termination still left on the component? I would expect the solder to remain on the pad though, if all your other devices on the pcb ar

I have to agree with Patrick here. This image appears to show a board that is NOT HASL as there is what appears to be a copper pad in the upper portion of the image. But then again the arrow tip appears to be white and I woudl expect that to be red s

1.) Are there any industry white papers written that document any advantages in running this alloy? From what I've read, this alloy was formulated to prevent leaching of silver for silver-bearing component terminations. 2.) Are there any concerns w

| | | Your problem may be related to silver migration (leaching) into the solder. I had what seems to be a similar problem. The solution was using solder with 2% silver content. See these pages for a bit more information: | | | | http://www.ferr

With a nickel barrier and 'tin' plating, reconsider your reflow recipe to reduce the leaching of the termination into the solder during reflow. Points are: * In designing a reflow temperature recipe, it is important that the temperature be raised at

If the terminations on your components are not barrier plated, you must be very careful about the amount of time you stay above liquidous. As you'd expect, longer is not better. The longer you stay at liquidous, the more of the component terminatio

Comparing 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag with 63Sn/37Pb, addition of 2% Ag introduces two major advantages. The first advantage is grain refining, and the resultant better fatigue resistance. The second advantage is a wider processing window on Ag metallization. Pres

What does the reflow profile look like , the question I had was surrounding the higher reflow temperature and the max temperature that lowest thermal mass components will see. Some other questions that I had were surrounding the components , what of

We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a recomm
