I know this has been dealt with in the past but I couldn't dig up anything in the archives. If I'm soldering a 0402 lead free component with 63/37 solder is this a problem. Also lets take the opposite. If I'm soldering a lead bearing 0402 with lead f

Hello All. Can the experts in the lead free field guide me to the articles / data confirming that it is OK to use lead free components in the normal "leaded" (Pb) SMT process. And also if any changes in the process would be required to be made. Th

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 took a Lead Free troubleshooting Class at SMTA in Chicago last September taught by Phil Zarrow. He told us during that seminar that its not a good practice to cross contaminate Leaded and Lead Free components but IF it is necesary than using lead

Can anyone tell me what makes the wave solder machine lead free? I I am looking to buy a used machine "electrovert minipak 300" and they are claiming that they can convert the machine into lead free. I want to know what does involve to do this kind o

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

In passives I dont know if anything changed at all other than the terminal plating. As for Active components there has been much engineering done to allow for the extra heat needed to liquify say SAC305 or other lead free pastes without damage to th
