Dr. Lee, We have seen a small decrease in shear strength for Pb/Sn plated components attached with Sn/Ag/Cu solder compared to components with a Pb-free finish. With the jump in the cost of Pd, we are struggling to define a practical Pb-free

Sounds to me like they are thinking since they have a gold board that it must be processed lead free. This kind of thing is happening all over since OEMs are starting to think about pb free and sending their purchasing and engineering to these semin

Are there any good solutions for getting good barrel fill on PTH boards using Pb Free solder and No Clean flux. All of our boards are having issues getting minimum required fill per IPC. It does not matter if the board is 062 or thicker, any pin conn

Greg, You say �some lead free solders do not flow well� Are there lead free solders that flow as good as conventional leaded solders?

We have been soldering lead-free components on the products with SnPb solder for 10 plus years. Over those years, TI has shipped 20 billion parts with Pd solderability protection. Turn-up the dial on your oven and push on to other things.

Our board suppliers tell us, there is no specification they use for HASL thickness, other than "coverage". They also say they have very little control over the HASL thickness. This was not an issue for us in the past, until we started using Pb-fr

some lead free solders do not flow well and need encouragment. what are you using solder/flux wise and machine/settings including dwell times cheers greg

Hi Patrick Yes we have some that you cant tell the difference. BUT machine set up and angle are extremely important with Lead Free as is the dosing alloy. Cheers Greg

Hi Peter Its looks on a par with mine so not bad at all but our alloy is considerably cheaper than SAC305 and significantly shinier We used our 10-75-30-R VOC free flux with topside of 100 - 105C Cheers Greg
