You can continue repair and rework with tin/lead solder until 7/06. However!!! Any product still on the shelves overseas after 7/06 will be returned to the USA. Thought? Maybe start repairing with SAC305 now? Also SAC is Tin, Silver and Copper. No Ni

Hi CW, Regarding orientation, yes, your diagram is right - see the following link for confirmation. http://search.murata.co.jp/Ceramy/image/img/A18X/C2EB3C.PDF Regarding information on bending strength you want to talk to your local Murata office

Hi Mark, We're not doing anything too fancy. We have a couple of programs that do assist us, but in all reality, they are mainly front-ends for a database. The first is a program called Global Shops that we use for our inventory. This is based o

Wow - 11,000. We have 8K-9K, and we have had three people working on it for the last 6mos, around their other duties. We aren't done. Some MFR's changed PN's. Some add G, some add LF, some add NOPB, some add Z, Some add a "+", etc. Some have no d

Great work Amol, Please keep us posted about the results of the x sectioning. I personally don't believe that the cracks are due to non-eutectic properties of SAC. Because the alloy is only 4�C off eutectic and when a solder joint exits the solder

WEll Im hearing all this talk about leadfree nonsense from the engineering dept at my place of employment.Let me tell you Ive been looking at this stuff for 12 yrs and i think tearing of the filet is a normal part of the solder joint kindof like dros

Well, my first thought is that you need to consider lead-free rework. Depending on the alloy, some stations may not be able to reach the correct temperature. The best stations I have seen have a prism & shows both the pads and the BGA on a single v

Hi, Who cares, lead free is not going away, and unfortunately that "lets just hope lead free goes away" attitude has permeated a lot of US based suppliers, and now we are in real trouble, because parts availability currently is a total mess. It see

Sheldon, Tip life is directly related to temperature, IRON plating thickness on the tip, Alloy composition used and operator technique. High tin contents in lead free alloys attach the tips. Poor wetting and higher melting temperatures cause us
