Hi, We are Scottish manufacturing company considering a move to Immersion Silver finished PWB's from HASL. The driver behind it being the RoHS and WEEE legislation in Europe at present. My question is... We plan on using a Sn/Cu/Ni solder bar in o

Steve, You read it the same way I read it. Some of my coworkers thought that the 600 micron and under spec meant that you could use lead solder and be exempt at this component pitch. That is why I posted it on SMTNET. The exemption specifically s

Hi John, any particular criteria you used to determine the component/PCB surface finish for the final assembly?? I am in the process of transitioning....so far testing test vehicles to find out the surface finish combination...with actual boards to

Being cynical in a RoHS environment is dangerous; it might lead to "lead" dependency. I know it's not easy to accept the fact that the lead-free alloys and board finishes solder as well as my ceramic bathtub. By the way what do you guys distrust the

What is the board finish? Did you profile built assy and get the temps on the board with a t/c in the board? DId you drill the BGA and get the t/c at the ball? When the parts came off the board did all of hte solder come off the pads and stay with th

From what I have seen some component terminal finished have a problem due to storage also. I have seen pure nickel finished turn black. I have seen silver barring finished have problems too. It all depends on how you chose your process, PCB plating,

For RoHS assemblies, we're spec'ing at least FR-406 for the higher Tg. We're currently requesting our customers to use ENIG finish, as we've had better luck with assembly in our process; but we're currently experimenting wtih lead-free HASL. As far

i mean that the parts that we have here is ROHS compliant(pb free)but the process that we have(the type of solder paste & the surface finish of the board has pb in its mixture) this is not the cause of problem ?

Why not build with a leaded paste or solder pot? You'll have more than 3% lead after solder. Who cares about before solder - any testing will be done on the finished product.
