Wow RealChunks! What happened to that firey b#tchey Asian temper of yours? :-) Speak your mind and forever hold your peace! Here's what I know about Lead-Free Wave Soldering: 1.) Hotter pot 2.) Longer dwells Good info. on fluxes, by the way.

Hi, How has it worked for you with small parts such as 0402, and are you using these size parts, and getting any tomb-stoning problems? We used lead paster with our vapor phase, while lead free should have less surface tension, so I have always won

When the component suppliers specify the cap as no more than 50sec (or even less time)above 200C, is there any way the lead-free profile window will fit if we wil have to achieve a peak temp of 230c for at least 30sec for the lead-free process? maybe

Well, as we are talking about lead finish, I don't think the question was about BGA. :-) AS far as the intermnetallics is concerned, then you are right, it might require a bit more heat delivered to the joints, but it also could be perfectly fine. Th

Is anyone aware of any white papers regarding the possibility of lead contamination on ROHS assemblies from using the same test fixture with the same test probes on both tin/lead and ROHS assemblies. We have customers switching over but we are still

We are going to convert a Leaded Wave machine (EMS Stallion) to Lead Free. Can we just empty the pot of leaded solder, run it with pure tin for a bit and then put in SN100 bar? What's the score with SN100? Oh and does anyone have any paperwork for

I should know the answer to this question but it's Friday and my brain hurts. When soldering you create fumes that are from the soldering flux.. These fumes should be extracted or diverted. Question is at what point does the leaded alloy become a vap

Hello Everyone, I have noticed that everytime that we have ran a PCB with fine pitch components (or even 0603s), there are little white strands on the leads or on top of the components. It occurs on both lead and lead free solder. We usually soak

In addition to Dave’s response Yes tin dissolves (corrodes) other metals even at room temperature, just a whole lot slower. The affinity of tin to dissolve other metals is most effectively neutralized with the addition of lead. It is not by accident

I predict you will have no problems with your soldering. Remember that all plating is only a few microns thick and quickly washed away by the molten solder. We have used white tin, immersion gold, OSG, etc. for quite a while with leaded solder and
