Hi Kevin, I hope this info is timely. To qualify a component for lead free use you need to use a lead free paste. The various lead free pastes have very different wetting capabilities and temperatures required to cause them to reflow properly. Yo

Titanium components are best for any suface in contact with lead free solder. We will be offering our brand solder fountain rework station utilizing Titanium components in July. Lead-Free solders seem to adhere to SST or cast pots and cause blockages

We have done the same using a Red Mask instead of Green. Its definitely a good idea. It makes it easier to distinguish lead-free from lead assemblies. However, unless you are totally lead-free or two processes are isolated, it will happen that you

What are the max temp specs for each of the components? this sounds like the real problem with lead free conversion. Which parts are which? Currently we are getting ready to reball lead free BGAs back to lead for a customer that had to be lead free

This RoHS has created a new "underworld" of brokered parts --- parts dipped in Lead-Free alloy to pass as "lead free." I could see some guy with a fur coat and feathered boa hawking lead free parts on the street: "Check it ouuuttt...I got lead free

The wording in your second post re: lead vs. lead free behavior seems to contradict your first post, but I'll assume you mean that the lead free boards fail sooner during vib. testing. My question is, if this is the case, are the parts that are fai
