It's got to be about Indium's website video where the dude gets sucked through the wave.

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.

Reflow and wave flow solders have to be changed more often because of contamination. Pb free PCB's don't solder as well so you will likely have to find a new process or supplier. The higher temperatures heat soak the components so they all need to be

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

Yes you can use no-lead parts in a leaded process. Your solder joints will be weaker than they once were unless you change your solder paste. You can try to improve this by running a hotter reflow temp, but be careful since your flux was not design

Phil is wrong. In the real world, we know that part mfgers have not changed every one of their parts to make them "high temp". They just changed the plating. Anyone who thinks otherwise, has never run a profile or touched a warm board coming out o

Dr. Lee, For lead-free wave soldering, we are recommended to use SnCu0.7, why not 0.8 or more ?? Since SnCu0.7 has eutectic melting point at 227 deg C, does it mean with more Cu or less Cu, the melting point will be higher ?? Also, in lead solderin

Mr. Lee, Although most of the lead free alloy used for solder paste and wave soldering have been identified, a suitable alloy used for leaded Ic packages (like QFP, PLCC..etc) have not been identified yet. Do you have any suggestion on this lead-f

Hi, What's the best process for going lead free? Ordering lead free parts and using them with current paste, and then once all the parts are lead free, moving to lead free paste as well? Then the wave will be fun to change over. What a nightmare th

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
