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

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?

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

Most of the chip; res & caps are already lead-free or RoHS compliant and you most certainly already solder them in your regular leaded reflow process. However, there are a few more component packages except from BGA:s that are NOT backwards compatib

Yikes! Sounds like a hairy situation there. I've successfully collapsed a Pb-Free BGA (using a Sn/Pb solder paste), with a peak temperature of 220 Deg. C and Time Above SAC's Eutetic point (217) of 17 seconds. Beware of overcooking your smaller ma

Let's pretend there's no complication with RoHS, backward, foreward compatability - bla, bla, bla Vikings. I would pick the BGA hands-down! 1.) The BGA Ball, the component's lead, IS the solder joint! 2.) No complanarity issues, bent leads, etc

Hi Grant, 1st off solder paste data sheets are just "guidelines". You always need to set your specs. based on the needs of your own process and product. Don't ever follow your solder-paste data sheet to the tee, or you're severely limiting yoursel

Vlad, yes, he made no mention of a BGA, but I thought I'd just throw it in there. Many people are concerned with the "backward compatible" scenario - running RoHS parts with a Sn/Pb solder paste. The scenario's a no-brainer with most components, bu
