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

I have been following this thread with a great interest. However, the rules or legislations that control RoHS standards is maybe questionable, but I can't see why people/companys have so hard to think about the "next generation"? The fact is: RoHS is

My experience with different size boards and pre-heaters. The perfect world (right?) you would saturate the complete pcb with bottom pre-heat. But it is difficult with repair and rework equipment, not to mention the expense and foot print of large pr
