We have a customer transitioning slowly to lead free due to necessity rather than a need to comply i.e. some of their BGAs can only be purchased Pb free only. So for this we would want to produce them a leadfree soldered PCB (not necessarly RoHS comp

kris, Thats what I said when the rep. advised me. But I had called him in to advise me on some problems I was seeing on a certain boards. When we ran at this elevated Temperature "bingo" the results were perfect. So as you know yourself wrt wave pro

The short answer is immediately after reflow the problem occurs. To be more exact, what you are describing is not "rust". Rust occurs in iron. The oxidation that occurs in Tin-Lead has been sometimes called "white rust". Either way, oxidation occur

The biggest difference between the two, is solder joint appearance. What I noticed mainly is that the solder does not wet and flow as readily to a palladium coated lead as it does with a tin/lead coated lead. When you look at a palladium coated lead

Hi all, we're preparing for the switch to lead free and I was wondering how dangerous/harmful to our new wave oven it would be to run tin lead parts through the no lead wave. Will the lead build up and cause issues?

Russells: You can mix the two solders you mentioned, assuming by "96s" you meant "96Sn / 4Pb". If you heat the two tin / lead alloys to a liquid state, you�ll form a tin / lead solution with properties different from either of the two solders. The

We are wave soldering some fabs with a lot of unmasked trace area along the edges. The trace area is solid copper covered with tin / lead, no masking, no components along the edges, same on solder side and component side (goofy board design). Inste

| We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have to
