NO-LEAD COMPONENTS WITH LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We agree with Russ. We've dicussed this several times on SMTnet. For instance, look here http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=25394 LEAD COMPONENTS WITH NO-LEAD SOLDER ISSUE: We disa

Kris, this practice has gone on for years. I have never heard of any problems associated with this. I have heard "grumblings" about tin lead parts being processed with lead free paste, but have seen or heard of no data to support. Russ

Hi Any body have any issues soldering tin lead solder paste with lead free terminations ? Components are leaded devices and chip components have read the theoritical discussions on the forum, need to know if any body has seen any real issues tod

Now see Dave, now I have some good info on why it is "bad", This must be the lead enrichment I have heard about but never got any substantiated data or explanantion. I wonder how much weaker or less reliable these are. Is there any data that you k

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

Krikies! seems like a head-scratcher if I may say so me-self. I would say the other ogre is right, that surface finish will play a big factor in your solder joint's grain structure or how shiney 'tis. Non-HASL bearing finishes will typicaly exhibit

When soldering your full tin (no lead) and Pb95/Sn5 solder components, you need to modify your PbSn reflow recipe to compensate for the higher melting point of the changed solder alloy [with your Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste] on those component leads.
