Please search the archives as this has been discussed on many occasions. Everything should be fine except for BGAs which will require a higher temp of 235C at the peak in reflow.

Yes, you can use lead-free parts in a leaded process. And the other is true as well, no-lead free parts in a leaded process. BUT, you should not use leaded parts through a non-lead wave solder process and of course, your board will not be RoSH.

Hello All. Can the experts in the lead free field guide me to the articles / data confirming that it is OK to use lead free components in the normal "leaded" (Pb) SMT process. And also if any changes in the process would be required to be made. Th

Which is the risk in soldering lead bearing components in a lead-free board with a lead-free paste? Is the reliability of the PWA seriously endangered or not? I have many lead-bearing components in my inventory and I don't know if I will be able to

My research starts here. I'm just beginning to research the effects of using a leaded part in a no lead process. Before I began, I know there are temperature differences. The part in question has a 260 C spec. Next I would like to find out if any c

you may need to change ovens since you were running lead in there. you probbly have some lead dust still blowing around in there

Thanks guys for the suggestions. But, what I am looking for is data, papers, articles to support this process of using lead free parts in leaded process. Again thanks for any help that you can provide.

Chris, To my knowledge the only difference between leaded and lead-free components is the termination plating. What has changed in the component design that makes them resistant to higher temperatures?

We are starting to see issues with using Kester WS R562 with lead free components. The joints look grainy on almost all of the 0402'2 and other small components. Some of the solder does not solder to the terminations. These are hybrid boards which
