Ed: We agree with you that leadfree parts can be used with leaded paste. We disagree that lead part can be used with leadfree paste. Here is link to a previous discussion here on SMTnet on the topic: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&M

Amen to that Hussman. The new lead-free world is not based on science or environment it�s all about $$$$$. And as I said before the promoters of lead-free care less about quality or reliability they just take this great opportunity to double their

Chris, To my knowledge the only difference between leaded and lead-free components is the termination plating. What has changed in the component design that makes them resistant to higher temperatures?

Yes, you can use lead-free parts in a leaded process. And the other is true as well, no-lead free parts in a leaded process. BUT, you should not use leaded parts through a non-lead wave solder process and of course, your board will not be RoSH.

I agree with Chris. Not all but SOME components definitely had to change to be able to withstand higher heat. I would watch out for some plastic connectors, possibly some active components, and definitely many electrolytic caps. Older stock compone

Hi, i tried to search but am hving trouble finding discussions on leaded parts being used in leadfree soldering process. So, i need some inputs from expert members here. Will it work if a component plated with SnPb will be used in a lead free sold

Hi russ, I am in the process of developing a "hybrid" reflow profile to solder a board that has LF BGAs and leaded solder. Have you encountered a similar situation before? if so what was the "safe" top side temp for the leaded components that was set

Yes, sorry, I have no detailed experience with wave-soldering. Probably if you use Pb components with Pbfree wave, you risk contaminating your wave solder pot. I don't know how much it would take or what all the dangers of that are, other than the
