Horizontal Convection Reflow Technology Defined

Technical Library | 2009-12-23 16:55:08.0

Leading up to the development of lead-free soldering alloys, Horizontal Convection* was developed for the reflow process. Getting the correct temperature profile, with the narrow process window in lead-free applications, is now more important than ever. In each chamber or “zone”, air is circulated toward one side of the oven above the PCB and toward the opposite side of the oven below the PCB, forming a “cyclone” around the board. The forced air circulation results in a uniform temperature profile along the entire circuit board assembly. This technology is ideal for the precise profiles needed for lead free soldering.

Mixed Metals Impact on Reliability

Technical Library | 2013-12-19 16:57:50.0

With the adoption of RoHS and implementation of Lead Free solders a major concern is how this will impact reliability. Both commercial and military hardware are impacted by this change even though military hardware is considered exempt from the requirements of RoHS. As the supply chain has moved to the new lead free alloys both markets are being forced to understand these impacts and form risk mitigation strategies to deal with the change. This paper documents the effect of mixing Leaded and Lead Free alloys on BGA devices and how this impacts reliability. Three of the most common pitch BGA packages are included in the study to determine if the risk is the same as pitches decrease

Going Lead Free With Vapor Phase Soldering - Lead Free Is Still a Challenge For Major Industries.

Technical Library | 2014-01-30 18:08:04.0

As of today, the electronic industry is aware of the requirements for their products to be lead free. All components are typically available in lead free quality. This comprises packages like BGAs with BGA solder balls to PCB board finishes like HASL. The suppliers are providing everything that is needed. It is harder to get the old tin leaded (SnPb) components for new applications today, than lead free ones. So why has not everybody changed over fully yet and how can the challenges be overcome? A big concern in this transition process is reflow soldering. The process temperatures for lead free applications became much higher. Related with this is more stress for all the components. It affects the quality and reliability of the electronic units and products...

Drop Shock Reliability of Lead-Free Alloys - Effect of Micro-Additives

Technical Library | 2009-06-11 19:27:21.0

The shock reliability of solder joints has become a major issue for the electronic industry partly because of the ever increasing popularity of portable electronics and partly due the transition to lead free solders.

Conductive Adhesives: TheWay Forward

Technical Library | 2010-11-04 19:56:25.0

Conductive Adhesives represent an intrinsically clean, simple and logical solution for a myriad of electrical interconnect challenges. Adhesives not only provide a "lead-free", "no clean" alternative to solder, these highly compatible materials offer viab

If you bear the cost of your product's failure, shouldn't you have a say in ensuring it's success?

Technical Library | 2009-04-09 20:43:09.0

Evidence has come to light that increased solder process temperatures, specifically for lead free solder, are dramatically shortening life expectancy of components; failures do not show up during initial test, but much later on in the products life,

Developing a Reliable Lead-free SMT Process

Technical Library | 2008-01-03 17:50:51.0

Lead-free SMT can be achieved reliably if several process requirements are implemented carefully. Some of the variables to account for are listed below. The most common alloys used in lead-free SMT are tin-silver-copper alloys; these alloys all have a meting range between 217- 220°C. These alloys all melt at higher temperatures than traditional leaded solders such as the 63/37which has a melting point of 183 °C.
