Hi CP, From a PCB manufacturing side, all of our product is Lead free / RoHs compliant if it has a surface finish other than Hot Air. To be ROHS compliant and Able to with stand Lead Free Assembly, this is where the board house would need to switch

I doubt it's the board house. Check the Laminate being used. When you find out that the laminate is IS410, search the forum for time and location for the next "RoHs Compliant PCB Delamination Support Group" Some of the locations are hard to find but

Dave, we have the same issue running a new bare board through the oven with no paste. If there is an imcompatibility with our flux would it still manifest itself when there is not flux? Im sure there is some residual flux in the oven all the time. We

Is anyone using standard FR-4 material for ROHS? All I have ever seen to indicate the need to go to a high tg/td board is that the material may fail after repeted rework. I have a customer that is trying to use IS-410 and it is causing electrical pro

My boss just received some info through a design mailing list that he's on claiming that FR406 is not RoHS compliant based on the limited number of processing cycles at RoHS compliant temperatures. I would guess that this is related to the relativel

Hi AJ, The biggest mistake in the industry today is documentation for lead free assembly required product. We are still seeing prints coming in saying Lead Free / High TG FR4. When in reality standard FR4 170 Tg. material is considered High Tg. and L

Well then, maybe it's an incompatibilty between the soldermask and the coating, possibly due to undercuring of the soldermask. Thoughts are: * Some suppliers provide their thoughts on the compatibility of their product with other suppliers. For ins

Hi Felix, First thing to verify is that your supplier is actually suppling you with the correct material. China is known for not keeping with the requested materials and will substitute if not controlled. I would recomend ITEQ, TUC or Nan ya for of

Hi Wayne, I am just curious what material is being called out. Are you just specing FR4 or are you calling out a particular IPC 4101 / Some recommended laminates designed for Lead free assembly are: Isola 370HR Nelco 4000-11 or 4000-29 Iteq IT15
