Does it fail to function or does it function outside of acceptable tolerances? If the latter I wouldn't know what to think, but if the former I would feel obligated to suspect solder quality or maybe even a component problem with the elevated lead-

CW, make sure your customer is aware of the affect high temp might have on adjacent components on the board. I guess you must have already checked out the rated temperature of all the components on the board

We switched our PCB's to 170Tg over 10 years ago, so we're probably good to go on the temperature aspect. Thanks for the opinion on the added lead content.

we do keep out solder paste ready for next shift or for replenish. We specified a location to keep new paste ( only one container ) near stencil machine. As soon as that is use we put another container from freeze, we make sure that at specified loca

The assumption that a HASL Sn63 PCB can be soldered with SAC solder paste is likely a bad one. The board itself is likely FR4 which can be damaged by lead free temperatures. The HASL finish isn't an issue from the perspective of it's makeup and actu

Hello davef - could it be you are confusing low thermal emf (Seebeck coefficient) with low temperature solder ? I am looking after solder wire and paste with low Seebeck coefficient - cadmium based alloy was OK but banned in europe due to RoHs direct

I don't believe that particle size of the solderpaste will offer you any relief from this issue. The solder flows into the via, leeching away from the desired solderpoint, after the solder has become liquious. The chemical make-up of the solder contr

Mario, what happens when there are components on the boards that are not rated to take temperature of 230-240 C Peak for a mixed assembly. I guess there are tons of sn/Pb components that have rated temp of 225-230 C.. So in guess you might want

We have the standard profile as a template made according to the solder paste specs. For some boards we measure the result at 2 points, on the board itself and on top of a sensitive SOT263 module and adjust accordingly. The solder paste is well kept,

I am confused about the parameters of the reflow profile needed to solder lead free components. We assemble boards for automotive modules required with leaded solder paste. The boards have ENIG finish. The problem is that I see some wetting issues, v
