Many trials conducted so far from single sided to Mixed technology dual wave with our LFB227/S 0.3Ag silver Lead free. Results are excellent, some say better than 63/37. One continueing problem though is the age old area of undercured resist and runn

If you want someone to do it for you, hire a consultant. IF you think its going to be handed to you over the web, get real. I don't think coke Inc would be where it is today if it published the formula to coke. For that matter, any CM or OEM would

We have recently faced lifted lead problem that happened on our 20 mil pitch QFP. We have infact pushed it back to the incoming quality, but still I have a few questions to bring up : 1) what is the typical coplanarity tolerance that ICs' manufactur

We're just getting started in lead free, but the solder balling and poor wetting sounds like what we saw in some early experiments where we were investigating whether we needed nitrogen. Without nitrogen inerting we got just the kind of things you'v

Dear all, Recently our customer complaint that some components being came off from the pcba after dropping test.But the curious is, the leads show visible solder fillet covering more than 75% of termination area on pad, which is acceptable as per IP

Your customer's cost will increase. Consider: * The majority of no-lead components have matte tin solderability protection. Bright tin, as mentioned by an earlier poster, has had reliability issues. Many component suppliers have documented their re

On contaminated assemblies: While you isolated part of your dendritic growth to contaminated boards, could it be that you have a similar problem with other components, rather than your flux? Is this flux new? Have you had similar problems with thi

I agree that something has to be done with the lead waste but I believe that a recycling program is a better alternative to lead-free. Isn't silver more toxic? How about the venting of alternate alloy fumes, let alone the effects on operators. I say

Greetings from Mexico I can see several good opinions about the "real" need to chnage to Lead-Free processes, but at the end and trying to be real, is there any good path we could follow to stop this process? I can see a lot of work, investment in eq
