Hi Small ovens work fine if the settings are correct and I seriously doubt 55cm/min is right. Profile it and speed down to around 35cm/min. Increase first zone to around 170 keep second at 208 but increase last to around 280 BUT profile to check it

Lead free solder does tend to resemble cold solder joints after processing. Generally, this is acceptable. The latest IPC 610 has pictures of acceptability of lead free solder joints, which you can use to compare to the joints that you are seeing o

No, there are no issues with mixed lead / no-lead post-reflow cleaning. No-lead is a little harder to clean so be sure you use the appropriate parameters and cleaning chemical. The only potential issue is if you mix up the boards after cleaning,

We are starting a lead free line. My question: Is there a contamination issue with running lead free boards and lead boards after soldering through the same board wash machine? I would expect not it, but want to know if anyone has any experience with

Kris, this practice has gone on for years. I have never heard of any problems associated with this. I have heard "grumblings" about tin lead parts being processed with lead free paste, but have seen or heard of no data to support. Russ

Hi All We have run SMT process with SnPb but we’re installing some lead free components like capacitors and resistor lead free. After the reflow oven all components have good appearance with solder join sheen. But the lead free components the solde

Hi Any body have any issues soldering tin lead solder paste with lead free terminations ? Components are leaded devices and chip components have read the theoritical discussions on the forum, need to know if any body has seen any real issues tod

To take our turn at keeping everyone else on the straight and narrow. For more on lead contamination of no-lead solder, look here: http://www.aimsolder.com/techarticles/Lead%20Contamination%20in%20Lead-Free%20Electronics%20Assembly.pdf [We apolog

NO-LEAD COMPONENTS WITH LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We agree with Russ. We've dicussed this several times on SMTnet. For instance, look here http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=25394 LEAD COMPONENTS WITH NO-LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We disa

So as far as pb free compliance in EU there would be no residuals from pb on the pcb's to speak of. We also have deionization cabinet with chealate filter for heavy metals that recirculates the wash water.
