Hi, As many must be aware a number of component manufactuers maybe shipping lead-free parts without part number changes. without knowing the datecode tracked on each component it would be difficult to trace components whether they are lead-free or

You may want to contact Cookson Electronics as they are leading the surge on "LEAD FREE" You may want to post your question to Chyrs Shea at Alpha Metals (Cookson). cshea@cooksonelectronics.com She should be able to field your question and put you i

Here is a thread from the fine SMTnet Archives from a couple of weeks ago, where we spoke about the topic of mixed lead-free solder with components that have lead-bearing solderability protection: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Messag

No lead devices oxidize very quickly when washed. Try to keep it a no clean process. Solderability comes into play a bit depending on solder paste.

In our current process we don't need to dry our pcb's. We use FR4 HASL boards. For the leadfree process we want to use NickelGold plated boards. Do we have to dry these boards for the leadfree process or can we just seal them with silica gel?

We believe that some suppliers replace nickel with cobalt in SN100 to product a shinier, less grainy, more attractive lead-free solder connection. SN100E sales-types like the idea that it is available in paste, bar stock, and other forms; as compare

To date we have not had to perform any additional or special PCB handling or storage procedures for Pb free. We use standard procedures.

We offer SN100C solder alloys. I was asked about SN100E which is tin/copper and cobalt. Anyone know anything about the cobalt and it's pros and cons in soldering process?

Please advise if Plasma Nitride for Stainless Steel is suitable or a proposed method to coat the wave solder bath for leadfree. Thanking you in advance. Regards, Adnahn
