Hi Guy's, Sorry about this, but yes it's another lead free related question. We are looking at using a Chinese SMD DC-DC Converter in a new design, whilst keeping one eye on the approaching Lead-free issue. The manufacturer claims that these are O

45 seconds from 230-245C. Check your paste material of choice for recomended profile peak temp and TAL. If you have not selected a lead free material check out the major paste suppliers on their lead free material offering and review the specs.

I have two industry leading customers that have specific requirements for components to survive 30 seconds above 230C. In one case I have a custom ASIC that is heat sinked on the die (to the PCB). The sink pulls heat out of the lead frame very effi

I see, maybe changing my peak temp in reflow will help. I'll try do eval again... Actually, once I did have evaluated a longer pre-heat but on my previous eval, I didn't change the peak temp. Maybe reflow can help compensate to my problem in the part

Several things to check. Are you reflowing towards higher temps for the no-lead parts? If so are you using a 63/37 paste? If so you are buring your flux off too early. Get a solder paste designed for lead free parts on a leaded baord. There are

You need a paste designed specifically for this. They are available. Most have 2% silver in them and higher temp flux so you can reflow at "no-lead" temps. The silver aids in the intermaetalic bond and the high temp flux allows you to reflow the n

Will the Pb part handle 240C? That is the first question that you need to answer. If it will then yes I would run the pbfree paste and profile. I assume that all other components are pbfree. If not, the same questions will need be asked as for th

If it is instructed to ship lead free product to customer, then low temp lead free solder paste can be considered. For example, Viromet solder paste from Singapore Asahi (peak temp is between 220 to 225 degree C).

What does your customer want you to do? I would not want a CM soldering one of my boards with leadfree paste if I didn't ask him to. Whatever you do, get approval first. Two things to consider: If the other components are not rated for leadfree tem

I have moved golden boards from chains to mesh as I got tired of fishing t-couples under the chain rail. I saw a 3-5 deg. decrease on top-side parts peak temp. (all t-couples were on top side). I had to bump zones 6 and 7 a few degrees to make up f
