We are planning to purchase a portable XRF unit to do our LF component testing. While we were running our first proto run of LF boards for a customer, we just happen to demo a XRF unit and found lead in a "certified Lead-free component"!!! Considerin

Most of the chip; res & caps are already lead-free or RoHS compliant and you most certainly already solder them in your regular leaded reflow process. However, there are a few more component packages except from BGA:s that are NOT backwards compatib

Guy's another question, how about any recommendation what type of adhesive to use as underfill for BGA during lead free process? Currently, we are only using Loctite 3609 & 3515 as adhesive we use 3515 as BGA underfill during normal leaded process s

11,000 parts? Easy life. We have 66,000 lines in stock & about 500,000 on the system. We've added extra fields on the database for every part number with ROHS status, MSL, PBT, & end termination info added. We've also had to create duplicate part

CMiller, Thanks for the valuable info! We are in the midst of lead-free deployment and need to know good alloy choices at both wave and ERSA. I have heard the same things regarding SAC305's price for bar solder, but don't yet know what the process

Hi all, Firstly, Wishing everyone a happy new year and a successful transition to RoHS (exempt entities please disregard the later part :-)) I am looking for a formal training institute/organization to train my operating personnel for lead-free hand

Hi "theSaint", We are using SN100C in our wave solder machine. As far as the solder itself, the wave process follows pretty much the same concept as leaded solder. You bring the assembly temp to 90 C or more before the actual wave. Sometimes for mul

Hi all, I'm working in Military Production and then, We have an exception about RoHS (LEAD FREE), but, because we use "normal" components, in this moments, a lot of components have LEAD FREE terminations, and we think that after of 1st July, we wo'nt
