Jacki, Lead-free Cu based alloys with melting point below 210C don’t exist.

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

Hi All, Anyone having problems with Peelable Mask during Leadfree Process? as in Melting Dave...

Another basic soldering question. I notice that lead-free solders have become required for plumbing applications due to legislation. In a local hardware store, I noticed the existence of lead-free solders (based upon tin-copper I think) with a melt

Some information on the web regarding RoHS and tip life... What problems are there for using Lead-free solder? ? Higher melting point of Lead-free solder may cause physical and thermal damage to components and PCB. ? Lead-free solder has poor

Yes, we can't use pure Pb PROCESS. And as I say we will not use it anyway, as we have lead-free BGA's, LGAs, component with Solder Charged Terminations... It's became almost normal practice to solder it with leaded solder pastes. In this case peak re

Ryan ... "As for bismuth-based lead-free alloys, a lower melting temperature than that of tin-lead is offered together with a cost similar to that of tin [in the area of $3/lb]. Unfortunately, bismuth in soldering alloys tends to create embrittlemen

Tuan - One of the reasons I suggested pre-tinning (aside from the negative effects of Gold on appearance and reliability) is the known slower wetting of Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu alloys as compared to Sn/Pb. If you don't have to be Lead-free, the high Lead

What type of solder are you using, Lead or Lead-Free? What is the melting point of it? What temperature are you setting your solder bath to? Possible solutions: 1) Give your solder bath a little more time to even out the temperature across the en
