Yeah, but when the operator drops regular solder bars into your lead-free pot, does that mean I should paint my bars, too?

I have not seen hold size as an issue when switching Sn/Pb to Pb Free wave soldering. Trying increasing your dwell time in the wave- typical for Sn/Pb is 2 to 3 seconds. Try 5 seconds to see what you get.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you operators/users have experienced any reflow solderability issues with any of the ATMEL QFP components with in the last three months. Leaded or lead free processes?

You can follow the daily metal prices here: http://www.lme.co.uk/tin_graphs.asp Tin is on its way to $21/Lb. Was $5.00/Lb. before RoHS I forgot the benefits of lead-free can anyone refresh my mind?

I love my Pace ST-30. Not too expensive and works a charm. Tips are also reasonable at $6-$15.

I'm not affiliated with JBC in any way, but I do agree you should take a look at them.

Does your top-side preheat NEED to be that high, and so high that you are exceeding the flux manufacturers' spec? If so, what is the reason? Top-side wetting? Are you measuring this temperature at the substrate or solder joint?

Hi Mark, Are these lead free parts on a leaded process? If so, that could be your problem. We had the same issue in my place a while back.

I have a steckfuss pinpointer 18 you can buy in Toronto, loaded with lead free alloy. peter08 at broy dot com It is not mine, but belongs to a broker and is in my building, will be inexpensive.
