JBC is offering "Lead free" tips now. They have this on the web site: "JBC recently released a new series of tips featuring a thicker iron bath that we find more resistent to aggressive additives and flux as found in lead free alloy." We have not d

Hi We are experiencing different failure modes between leaded and lead free through hole assemblies. The boards are PTH. In the case of lead free boards we are seeing fracturing of the component legs much earlier than we do with leaded assemblies. N

Is anyone wave soldering 0603 leadfree succesfully? We have no problems soldering them leaded, but lead free we see a lot of random skips and some shorts. We use SAC. We have tried different fluxes, flux settings, playing around with preheat, sol

Every problem faced with (all) lead free alloys can be solved with 2 words �add lead� I'll keep it short don't want to sound like a broken record.

Hi All, Does any body have any information on hot bar lead free soldering ? Need papers or experimental data ASAP Thanks

Yes of course. The leg of the component breaks between the top of the solder joint and the component body. We can induce the same failure mode with lead free joints but usually after 10x longer on vibration.

Great as most Lead Free machines have the wrong angle on them 7 degrees is correct. So you are still exiting the wave in the middle of the pot then.

Would like to know what people are doing to differentiate their lead and lead free environments in their production areas. How do you keep it separated? What, if any, visual colors do you use to indicate a lead free area? Gray? Green? For instance, w

This is one reason why we changed package styles. Maybe consider getting a different size tube, say from 500g to 1000g or something like that. We use jars for lead paste, and tubes for lead free (different application method) If lead free comes off t

A while back we checked out all our manufacturing equipment for lead free capability, we thought our soldering irons would all be fine as they can reach temperatures well in excess of lead free alloy melting points. Last week i was speaking to someo
