The concern about lead contamination of lead-free solder has to with zone refining. For more, look here: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=30315

Sounds to me like your printer not releasing paste now and again. How can you be sure that you are not getting print skips. Are you using any kind on AOI?

Hi Dave, thanks for the info. I'll check the detail and try to send sample SMD's for test. - Bong

Buenas dias Jos�, It shoul not be a problem. We had situation like that when in the early 2006 the Lead Free fase in Pb fase out, no pbm on solder joints. Today, after about 3 years, those cards are stil working in the field without any defect. Reg

Dear Sir. Recently we had a problem in our production. We had pcbs with no RoHs (with solder Pb in pads) but we used paste Lead Free. I want to know if we will have problems in this solders in the future, because (perhaps)the solder will be broken, o

Hi What is the surface finish you have? Following are true if you have HASL-LeadFree surface. I have had the same problem 3years ago and we did some micro-sectioning for further analysis, still the boards are functioning properly. But you have to

Hi Jose, such a process is possible, but you need to confirm that the PCB material has high Tg. In additon, you need to re-look solder paste printing parameters and make required changes in stencil apperture design for optimum solder volume. Just a

Hi Shooter, we're not using AOI but we do every 30 minutes sampling Inspection on the board and we're not seeing insufficient paste deposit so far since we started. But I agree with you that seemed my printer is not printing consistent amount of pa

I see, maybe changing my peak temp in reflow will help. I'll try do eval again... Actually, once I did have evaluated a longer pre-heat but on my previous eval, I didn't change the peak temp. Maybe reflow can help compensate to my problem in the part
