It's the same like asking wether you get a gold-contaminated solder pot when soldering ENIG boards. As long as the replenishment of dross is large compared to the intake of contaminant, the contamination level will stay within acceptable levels.

0.2% lead will make your solder non compliant with RoHS when you move to a completely RoHS compliant BOM. Check with your bar vendor how much it will take to convert a pot containing 0.2% lead to

Dear all, As we know there is a high risk of reliability issue due to lead contamination during mixture of NLF component at LF wave soldering process. But we have the following feed back from one of our customer as follow: Concerning the risk of m

Is just me, or too many "soldering issues" have been observed lately? on this forum... could be a ~90% components "backwards/compatible" in both leaded/lead free process?

Grant, The Fuji's looked good. However, the pricing and warranty is not competitive for their comparable machine. In addition, we are not a big fan of Fuji coming out with new feeder designs that are not backwards compatible. The first generation of

Why we cannot run Pb Free BGA with Sn/Pb process but we can run high temp BGA(90/10) with Sn/Pb? Both require high temperature to form the IMC.Why there is a difference in the reliability?

It would appear that pure tin is backward compatible with leaded processes. This makes it a great finish, as if you migrate all your parts over time there is no issue mixing them. I am not aware of any finish that eliminates the possibility of tin wh

for backward compatibility applications (such as this), the higher melting temperature alloy (LF alloy) gets the priority in selecting the reflow profile. you are using too low temps for reflow. your LF alloy wont reflow at these temp and you will e

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
