Will component manufactuers need to look at possible new coatings for pins when to be used in a PB- free enviroment? PT 2 Will new solder joint inspection criteria have to be developed for the use of lead free solder?

Many machines for both reflow and wave are quite capable to run lead free but you are generally talking about the high end systems not the light weight units. Bob

Bob, Is Nitrogen a "MUST" for reflow and wave soldering of the Lead-Free Solder Alloys ? And is post cleaning be a great impact when converting to Lead-Free Solders ?

You will find that most of the work reported in Europe has been in a nitrogen enviroment. All my trials have been in air so my comments just relate to air. I feel that most people will still not clean but the residues that are produced seem to be hi

I am just starting to investigate the fesability of this process and have very limited knowledge. Is there any problems inserting components on the same side as the paste on a PTH. When a component is inserted in this way is there a problem with th

Many thanks the beer is in the post ! Thanks for that I spend a lot of time doing my video clips, to show a point as I believe if you see it happen it must be true. I would get bored listening to me if I did not use them.

Lee: Here is two materials related questions: Taking a long term view, how are preferred materials selected from a design for the environmental perspective? What are the criteria for determining if a material is recyclable? Who does this?
