I have had similar problems and my customers have had this too. A two story drop test was made by one of my customers and they found that changing Sn63 solder to Sn62 solder made a significant impact. There is no real downside other than a slightly

Hi, I just did a seminar on lead free, but don't have any experience myself yet. However the guy running the course said that in all the testing he had done he had not seen any major difference between lead and non lead soldering. He spent quite a b

Jim, I also do not have any practical expeince at this time with the LF. I can only imagine that the reduced spread/flow of the LF would make the process window for intrusive reflow that much smaller. I think that things like pin to hole ratio and h

Thanks for the input everyone, but I am looking for a PCB manufacturer, not a PCB assembly house. I have some designs that I'd like to get quoted on (from Gerber files). I have my own SMT line to populate the board. Do any of you know of a manufac
