Target those specific parts/leads with a thermal-couple and a mole and try to get the peak reflow temps up to 225 C. It's not a cure but it will improve the apperance of the solder joints.

Hi All We have run SMT process with SnPb but we’re installing some lead free components like capacitors and resistor lead free. After the reflow oven all components have good appearance with solder join sheen. But the lead free components the solde

I have experienced this directly in SMT and wave solder. Fillet lift (can) be a direct indicator to lead enrichment (but its not the exclusive symptom). Lead enrichment in smt joints reduces the interfacial strength shortening the time to creep f

So as far as pb free compliance in EU there would be no residuals from pb on the pcb's to speak of. We also have deionization cabinet with chealate filter for heavy metals that recirculates the wash water.

Now see Dave, now I have some good info on why it is "bad", This must be the lead enrichment I have heard about but never got any substantiated data or explanantion. I wonder how much weaker or less reliable these are. Is there any data that you k

Question: If we run the same oven to run both lead free and lead paste. Will any lead contamination transfer to the lead free board by force conversion?

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find some lead placement equipment. Currently we have Clip leads that come in reels with solder pre attached are currently done by hand. surface mountable leads/connectors will not do, due to board/end

Okay....we're all familiar with "J" leads and "Gull wing" leads on SMT components.....can anyone elighten me on what a "flat ribbon" lead is?? Can you supply a picture? Thanks in advance.

Don't have a picture but a ribbon lead is jaust a flat lead with no standoff capability. look at a SMT electrolytic cap for this lead type.

Hi has anyone noticed any issues with reduced component lead diameters on through hole resistors? All the volume manufacturers have or are in the process of reducing the lead diameters from 0.6mm to 0.4mm due to the huge increase in copper prices o
