Today's regular Sn-Pb paste chemistries are designed to run at higher peak temperatures ensuring that your lead-free alloys will coalesce with your regular Sn-Pb solder. That being said, it is do-able to solder both types in one oven. Generally, wit

I am sure you can reflow lead free in any oven but i thought i read that lead free requires a cooling stage to get the solder joints reflowed "correctly".

Hey all! As background, I recently purchased a full SMT line for my company. We have a DEK 265, an assembleon opal xii, and a Heller 1500. Currently our jobs are leaded, and the heller is working perfectly. An upcoming job that we are potentially g

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

In one board we are using 213 SMT components out of which 23 components are lead-free and the rest are leaded. The paste used is also leaded. Do we have to make any changes in the profile of our reflow oven ? Also will there be any negative effect on

Any decent 7-zone reflow oven rated at 300 degrees C will handle lead free. Prices for used ovens in this range begin around $15K. For waves, the prices are all over the map. Send me a private e-mail and I'll introduce you to a friend of mine who sel

HI, We currently have two SMT lines, one running leaded products and the other lead-free. There is a recommendation to combine the two to increase the line capacity. What do you think are the pros and cons, is there a risk in contamination ot the

Hi, We have been running Soltec reflow and wave, and are very happy with them. The software on the Soltec oven is great, but a bit stupid on the wave. However they are both great units, and after about 38,000 PCB's they are still totally clean with
