Good afternoon,

You have to use lead paste since none-RoHS components won�t withstand elevated temperatures. Solder paste manufacturers offer a lot of transitional pastes designed specially for mixed process. Ask your paste supplier for transitional paste.

ViVian, check the great SMT archives. Below is a good thread on this very topic. :-)

Leaded paste, is what we use if the process or product requires it.

Non-ROHS parts are more likely to be capable of taking higher temperatures. ROHS parts have restrictions on what goes into them includeing certain fire retardents.

Don't confuse ROHS compliant with ROHS capable. And don't trust component manufactures to make their ROHS parts ROHS capable.

If it is instructed to ship lead free product to customer, then low temp lead free solder paste can be considered. For example, Viromet solder paste from Singapore Asahi (peak temp is between 220 to 225 degree C).

Today is more complicate to find components with lead than with "lead free", and the, I think that you have very feww lead components. And, if don�t work on exceptionals companies, you MUST use LEAD FREE PASTE. In one case, or in the opposite, the result its very similar, try to use lead free in everything.

We use SnPb paste and bar with leaded and non-leaded component finishes. The predominant finish on components we use is Tin, there are a few NiPdAu. We've had no problems with the component finishes used in the SnPb process.
