Do present reflow and wave solder equipment currently processing tin-lead process need to be replaced when migrating to lead free process ? Is there any equipment (reflow or wave) out there capable of processing both leaded and unleaded processes wh

Thanks for the info! I have found that we see similar if not the same results. It appears that lead free processing through SMT is NO BIG DEAL. You will find that other paste Mfgrs seem to have the same performance as what you experienced.

I have two questions that maybe someone can answer? 1. Can or should lead free components be used with standard 63/37 processes? including sn/pb pcb's? 2. Can or should sn/pb components be used for lead free process? I have recieved mixed feeling

Hi, What's the best process for going lead free? Ordering lead free parts and using them with current paste, and then once all the parts are lead free, moving to lead free paste as well? Then the wave will be fun to change over. What a nightmare th

Patric, The product is exempted from the RoHS regulativ 1'st phase(2010) and our policy is to follow the new EU regulations as this will also push the Industri technolegy and the SMT process. Our concern is more that we are not able to qualify the p

Rob, Thanks for your feedback, the engineering and purchaser is working to get alternative component. But seems like we have start manufacture few prototype without the lead-free due to the LLT. Do you have experience with this production regards to

Basic rule of thumb for lead free manufacturing: If the joint looks "too good" it probably has lead in it. This, of course is based on comparison observations of other components on your assembly.

Ken you're so right it scares me. If it looks too good its "reject" can't wait to see the definition in the lead-free workmanship standards.

Hi Jay, Concerning you PCB, what TG do you expect to use for your lead free process? On my side I have a problem. I order PCB from Canada and from China. My PCB vendor in china is producing a lot of OSP and ENIG PCB, no HASL lead free and in Cana
