Inds, It's about time that lead-free components can stand higher temps "myth" stops. The only difference is the plating, the component itself has not changed. Can you give us an update on this threat? If you�re the same inds http://www.smtnet.com//

Yikes! Sounds like a hairy situation there. I've successfully collapsed a Pb-Free BGA (using a Sn/Pb solder paste), with a peak temperature of 220 Deg. C and Time Above SAC's Eutetic point (217) of 17 seconds. Beware of overcooking your smaller ma

Patrick, I believe you are mistaken about this being a myth. Many component manufacturers changed more than plating to make their component withstand higher temps. Some changed mold compounds, others changed plastic types used. Many of these change

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

I have done it different ways on different equipment. 1. Remove alloy one from the machine. Add alloy two only. and use it.For next board, do the same. 2. There are machines with separate sections for PB and PC-Free, so pots are away from each other

If you visually inspect the solder joints of the first dozen or so boards with the Pb free parts and you're meeting workmanship standards then I wouldn't worry about it. When we started getting the first barrage of Pb free parts a couple years ago w

We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

Yes Rob, I would like to know the type of metal finisching like JST097 or IPC-1066 or IEC .... suggest to do. I would like to avoid i.e. to get Bismuth finish on components terminals that I still have to solder with alloy containing Pb. Also to ha

"The only real problem we're seeing is some suppliers trying to use bismuth. That's a big no-no in a SnPb process and we won't accept those parts." Yes and no. Since the SnPbBi tertiary alloy melts at 96 degC, any product rated for storage above tha
