If you have concerns, you can look at the datasheet for each component or contact one of their application or materials engineers and find out what the components are rated for...process-wise. IE, how long can I be in the oven with this part, at what

I am trying to optimize my reflow profile. i have a 5 zone oven. lead-free: for the 1st 3 zones, i am good, at about 150-200 deg for 150 seconds. during the 4th zone, i am at a temp of 200-220 for 50 seconds. during the 5th zone, i am at 220-245 f

Hi. I am trying to understand Tg and how it relates to reflow. With the higher temperatures of lead free, we have been looking toward laminates with a Tg of 180 instead of the current 140. My question is a little more general. In either lead free

Hi All, I�ve been doing some research on the issue of running lead-free solder paste and leaded solder paste through reflow at the same time. The point with this would be to process all standard leaded components with Lead paste while also processi

No we didnt. All our images where visual.

Try an intermediate paste like Loctite/Henkle 218. It's design is to be used in a mixed lead/lead-free process.

Hi all, I'm working in Military Production and then, We have an exception about RoHS (LEAD FREE), but, because we use "normal" components, in this moments, a lot of components have LEAD FREE terminations, and we think that after of 1st July, we wo'nt

Tg is just a way to say when the board goes limp... or a quick way to rank laminates... who cares. For lead free you want to look at Td, Decomposition Temperatures. ( Temp at which the material weight changes by 5% )

I guess my biggest concern would be what will happen to the inner metallic layer of the leaded solder during the higher temperatures.

We just did this and are awaiting the results. Solder balling and a burnt looking flux where visual indicators that we noticed running regular paste at no-lead temps.
