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

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

We start to get mixed component leaded and lead-free, we still using leaded solder paste in the SMT process. Do you see this a problem to use leaded process 179 deg celsuis temperature reflow on RoHS compatible lead-free components with same specific

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?

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
Electronics Forum | Mon Oct 03 16:19:22 EDT 2005 | Amol
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

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
