The buyers in our company like to change the PCB finishing because of reducing costs. The proposed change is going from Ni/Au to HASL lead free, I know that in the beginning of the lead free period there where a lot of problems to use the HASL especi

The assumption that a HASL Sn63 PCB can be soldered with SAC solder paste is likely a bad one. The board itself is likely FR4 which can be damaged by lead free temperatures. The HASL finish isn't an issue from the perspective of it's makeup and actu

The bare pcb has lead HASL finish. Components are lead-free and lead-free solder was used to solder the plate-through components. Is this acceptable or will there be reliability issues?

Thanks Sir Dave. Yeah my apologies. To clarify, we built the product PCB whcih has a Lead-Free HASL Finish using a Sn63/Pb37 Solder paste. My major concern regarding reliability is that my profile whish is between 215'C-225'C was insufficient to ref

Just wondering if there are any users of SN100C lead free hasl finsh out there. If so what kind of results are you getting as far as solderability is concerned?

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

Yes, we can't use pure Pb PROCESS. And as I say we will not use it anyway, as we have lead-free BGA's, LGAs, component with Solder Charged Terminations... It's became almost normal practice to solder it with leaded solder pastes. In this case peak re

Hi, In 2006 we will need to produce Lead free PCB and for now it's hard to get answer to my questions. I'm from Canada and the PCB vendors we actually have are not ready to produce Lead Free PCB ( HASL Lead Free ). For sure OSP (Entek) is not good

Hi all, For leadfree HASL finish, is there any specification or guidelines for contamination level, esp Cu% to refer? How can we ensure the HASL finish composition is reliable for assembly? Thanks..

Hege, Yes. Good info. We have other products that run lead free process with known non-RoHS compliant components. All of these are using LF process compliant fabs however so this is the first time we have been in this position. Thanks.
