with lead-free solders, one would expect to find less instances of tombstoning. this is because SAC alloys are not eutectic and melt over a range of temp (usually 217-220 deg C) instead of at a single temperature. therefore the forces due to solder s

As we have vitronics oven(SMR610A) made in dec,1997,which has 5 heating zones and 2 cooling zones. For Lead free soldering what should be our baseline for low/medium boards.we have gathered profiles from various paste manufacturers,however we don't k

There are two profiles available for the Pb-free process: (1) RSS and (2) RTS. In your case, you should try a solder paste that supports RTS profiles. A minimum of 7 zone Refow Oven would be fine on the Pb-free process. However, you may still try by

Good day.. anyone who have read the best guide on pb-free pcb plating?? I know immersion is the best but the storage controls sucks..easily changes color..ANYONE WITH A BETTER kNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO CONTROL? OR better plating ...enig?? why?? please. all

Most PCB manufacturers should be able to fall between 1.25um-5.00um for Pb-Free HASL. I doubt you will get anyone to agree to anything higher. If you are going to require an average thickness, make sure you also state "No Copper exposure allowed".

Our preference has been ENIG. We find that we achieve higher quality (visually) soldering for through hole and surface mount parts, with less handling issues than when we use white-tin, or immersion tin. We are about to do a test on some boards tha

We think it will make little difference to your customer. It really depends on your customer's end-use environment though. Tough to guess. In a short time, both of pots will be "SAC" though.

It could be lack of preheat or flux. You can verify the flux by hand applying. I'll bet it's lack of preheat though. That's usually the case with selective solder.

immersion ...easily changes color.. See that's the GREAT thing about immersion coatings. If they change color, they probably will not solder well. Try that with other coatings.
