| Can anyone lead me to good information on when and how European Union is going to implement it's lead-free directives. I have heard 2002 and 2004 as possible dates. | Try:

Many component manufacturers are moving to Pb free terminations. I've been doing a literature study of Pb free processing and have found several articles that indicate Pb-free paste with Sn/Pb terminations leads to early fatigue failures. Does anyo

Thank's for the information Bob. I have another question, at the moment my peak reflow is at 218c, this means I am above the 210c a lot of companies run off. If I am building boards using SN63/37 solder paste with lead on my process, and using lead f

Francisco, You need to be concerned about "lead-free" BGAs. The SAC balls will not reflow at at standard tin-lead process temps. I have seen many examples where this has been a very big problem. In once case the BGAs just poped-off when the board was

Great oven but i believe those ovens came out before lead free was even a sparkle in someones eye.

Patrick, I learned at a Lead-Free seminar, where the seminar lecturer was a proponent of Bismuth in soldering, that Bismuth is actually "safe to eat" and is one of the few non-toxic metals around.

I'd like a volunteer to have the 1st 100% RoHS WEEE Lead-Free pacemaker inserted in their bodies to regulate the heart!

I do recommend dedicated tips and dedicated workstations. Make sure that your tips come in with no lead in the tinning. There is a new, green heat resistant table mat that is being used in the industry to identify lead free areas. If operators see gr

Darn Rob you're brilliant You just solved the dilemma of micro cracks and hot tear in lead free, just add a softer metal like.....and the joints won't crack. You wrote "BTW: Lead is far softer & dissolves far more easily than copper or tin, hence wh

Rob It's documented that lead doesn't leach out of landfills. So, how does Eurolanders health become affected by lead in landfilled electronic products? Isn't the potential for lead poisioning from using leaded glass greater a danger? Given that
