I am not very concerned about production time, but it is always a thought! Quality is more importnant of course. We have 2 different pastes, with almost identical requirements. We can get close to their profiles, but i am worried that i am spending

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

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

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

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% )

=330*C is good advice. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for earlier discussions on Td, like http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=32430

from what i know, Tg is important from thermal stresses point of view. board warpage increases greately when Tg is exceed

Reflow profiles are based on the product and materials you are soldering. You need profiling software and a data logger.

how would you apply both pastes.? anyway, I have succesfully run leadfree bga with lead paste. You gotta find a profile that kinda meets both requirements. Taking into consideration the peak temp and time above. dont have details on hand but I ca

At my last employer, we ran a number of tests to make a "Hybrid" profile work (same profile Joe lists) . It worked great for everything but BGAs. The problem (6 months ago) was using parts not rated for lead free reflow temps. As the market fills wit
