Hi all, Firstly, Wishing everyone a happy new year and a successful transition to RoHS (exempt entities please disregard the later part :-)) I am looking for a formal training institute/organization to train my operating personnel for lead-free hand

Hi, The ROHS compliant parts are usually Matte Tin on the outer terminal plating. There are also 2 further types of metal on the average chip cap - the undercoat metal of the outer electrode & the inner electrode. These are usually the same & are

Hi all, hope everyonein the forum id doing fine and working diligently toward RoHS capability. One of my customers have asked me (my company) to recommend a lead-free laminate. us being a CEM, have no idea of design variables (df, dk etc., (process v

As long as you trust that the component vendor is honest & diligent (possibly add this to your vendor rating criterea?) In the UK we have a 'RoHS Trusted' Kitemark from the British Standards institute that distributors can apply for to show this. I

GS I am not a lawyer and the European directive has a lot of grey areas. But if you look at 1.2 in the link I send you it states that when an appliance can still function when the electrical current is off this type of equipment is not covered by di

Watch the solder profiles allowed for these caps. Most electrolytics cannot withstand high heat. Even RoHS compliant Electrolytics are often rated for peak 245C, 3 secs max, for example. Nowhere close to the 260C 10-20 sec you usually like to see.

We've looked at our stencil under magnification after hand cleaning. There is some paste left behind. Machine washing removes all of the paste. Your best bet is to clean like normal, then look at the aps under magnification. Adjust accordingly (a

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
