Two things: 1 IPC pad calculator is an excellent resource for you and your board layout staff. Consider that working together with the calculator may allow you both an opportunity to balance your interests. 2 It's unlikely that the ceramic parts h

Have any experience that Sn/Pb plated integrated circuit products will appear some rainbowbridge-like substance after exposing at conditions of 121degC, 100%RH and 15psi for 48hours or above? The rainbow bridge substance was analyzed by EDAX and fou

Has there been a definite date for the total move over to lead free? Will it be 2004 or 2008. Also is there a direct replacement for leaded solder, I have read various articles on numerous alloys suggested for the switch, such as bismuth, tin, copper

Most robust wave soldering machines will cope with lead free alloys. The temperatures in air that we have run has been between 260-265C. In my opinion the dross generation has not been significantly effected. I was doing a workshop for a well known

I don�t think you are correct in the case that the legislation has been adopted only the proposed legislation has had the date changed. The main driving force seems to be commercial, making sure that if one company dumps and provides a lead free pro

I have been researching lead-free paste for a while now and I will share with you what I can. Firstly, SnAgCu seems to be the common industry choice. It really depends on your application - the cell phone/pda sector is primarly using different comb

Hello Dave, Sorry it took so long to reply. When we did our profile we did attach the thermocouples to the lead foot right above the pad. I suppose that the leads could have been hotter than the PCB pads although, other areas that were profiled were
