Tom, has your company started to convert your BOMS? How is your company doing it? Yes, I think that is on most peoples minds, how to do the BOM conversions is the main worry, and I think that it just boggs some companies down so they dont do anyt

Plating houses seem to exhibit various results. Unacceptable Ni oxidation levels appear to be related to poor Pd plating processes. Ni oxidation can occur at 3 process stages: 1) prior to the Pd being applied (Ni already oxidized) 2) during the p

Hi Kelvin, Regarding to the surface finish of the leads, Sn or Pd may be the direction that the industry takes. First of all, the answer must be "Pb-Free", limiting our choices. Sn has good solderability, and it won't have too great of an impact o

I have only one reflow oven can I use it for both processes (leaded and lead-free)? If I do use it, one run for leaded and the next run for lead-free will that contaminate my lead-free process?

We are being asked to begin rework processes on boards that use lead free solder. Does anyone have any experience in the service field working with lead free?

You will need to preheat the boards for a lead free selective solder process. A preheat module is critical for any wave or selective solder process, if you don't get the board preheated properly the solder is going to resist flowing to the top of the

Ther is a solder alloy out there that is supposed to allow lead free wave processing without having to upgrade pumps and such or increasing the pot temp (direct drop in). I have not used it nor do I plan on doing leadfree wave soldering but you may

Javi, The reason you have an exemption for your product is because there are reliability concerns for lead free and it is impossible at this stage to guaranty backward compatibility. If a cell phone, TV or radio fails, no lives are at risk, you just
