Band width relates to conveyor speed to achive a 2 second contact time for Sn/Pb wave soldering. A typical conveyor speed is 150cm/min with a band width (contact band width between PCB and solder) of 5cm. Now for Pb-Free wave soldering a longer conta

With Pb-Free HASL you can't use Pb process for sure as the melting point of tin is so much higher than the lead paste process. SAC305 is the most popular compound, unless your assembly requires something else for a specific reason.

In general two step temperature reflow process requires minimum 40 deg C delta to be sucessful. We are not using vapor phase soldering but we have similar situation when we change to SAC lead free solder for PCB component population and secondary swe

Q1. If I go to the Pb-free solder paste, is it necessary that I have to change my reflow oven OR just by changing with respect to solder paste specification, I can reach my goal? A1. It depends on your current oven. Some ovens can meet the higher t

The European WEEE has issued a new (5th) version of its recommendations. In it they say that , on January 1st, 2004, they will review the status of the Pb-Free issue. There is currently NO DEADLINE for implementation. As far as a direct replacemen

SAC305 Will be the best choice with minimum TAL, Maximum Soak Solder Profile. Surely your solder Joint strength also will be more reliable & This can pass any kind of reliable Tests.

Currently we are using a 2 step vapor soldering process to manufacture our std. lead soldered parts. The first step was done with a ls240 vapor fluid and the second was done with a ls200 fluid. Using a 221 deg C sn95/Ag5 solder for the first step a

If you know "soldering Pb free (Sac based soler) to Pb/Sn coated lands is a no-no," why would soldering with Pb/Sn to Pb-free coated lands be different? If you are going to do this, follow the advice of an earlier poster who recommended higher peak s

Not following the lead paste process window has a whole set of risks for joints quality and reliability.

Hi, I just need to undestand any issue? If I mount Pb free BGA and use normal SN/Pb solder paste?
