Hi, there Any idea if leadfree through hole connector can be used in standard leaded process? If not, why ? Thanks

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.

Thank you! sorry, i just realized my posted question was not very specific.. no, it's not a BGA part, it's just a standard surface mount device and the only leaded part are the leads.

Technically speaking, most likely yes it will work, unless possibly it is a BGA. There are issues surrounding BGA's. Here are some of the general issues: On any type of component, if the Pbfree solder you are using contains bismuth, then the Pb in

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent

Hi, i tried to search but am hving trouble finding discussions on leaded parts being used in leadfree soldering process. So, i need some inputs from expert members here. Will it work if a component plated with SnPb will be used in a lead free sold

Hi russ, I am in the process of developing a "hybrid" reflow profile to solder a board that has LF BGAs and leaded solder. Have you encountered a similar situation before? if so what was the "safe" top side temp for the leaded components that was set

yep, only SMT reflow.

Is it safe to assume that you're only talking about SMT reflow here?

If your part will withstand the higher pbfree reflow temp you should be fine. We have done this on limited basis in pbfree transistion with no reported reliability issues.
