We use the JBC irons with and without the "leadfree" tips. We really have not noticed much difference between the standard and the lead free. The lead free tips do last a little longer but the tips are somewhat deformed by the extra plating. As f

Is anyone wave soldering 0603 leadfree succesfully? We have no problems soldering them leaded, but lead free we see a lot of random skips and some shorts. We use SAC. We have tried different fluxes, flux settings, playing around with preheat, sol

NO-LEAD COMPONENTS WITH LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We agree with Russ. We've dicussed this several times on SMTnet. For instance, look here http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=25394 LEAD COMPONENTS WITH NO-LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We disa

Larry, SMTnet.com did an Onboard Forum regarding lead free solder. The link : http://www.smtnet.com/onboard/get_forum.cfm?session_id=4& Also, I did a search of the SMTnet forum (left side of most pages-please be patient it takes a moment) using th

Dear Sir. Recently we had a problem in our production. We had pcbs with no RoHs (with solder Pb in pads) but we used paste Lead Free. I want to know if we will have problems in this solders in the future, because (perhaps)the solder will be broken, o

Buenas dias Jos�, It shoul not be a problem. We had situation like that when in the early 2006 the Lead Free fase in Pb fase out, no pbm on solder joints. Today, after about 3 years, those cards are stil working in the field without any defect. Reg

Bet your using tin/ lead plated components with a lead free Cu/Ag/Sn alloy. It leads to intermetallic cracking. Wow didn't anyone tell you to check the archives yet, It seems to be the answer given to everyone. Why have an interactive site if you alw

We are being asked to begin rework processes on boards that use lead free solder. Does anyone have any experience in the service field working with lead free?

Our preference has been ENIG. We find that we achieve higher quality (visually) soldering for through hole and surface mount parts, with less handling issues than when we use white-tin, or immersion tin. We are about to do a test on some boards tha
