PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive? I don't know which type of tape the affected reels of parts use but it is not sticky. Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. There were no missing teeth on the plastic take-up reels. I have cleaned an

Your concern should be do you have a glue process that can keep up with the FCP6. We ran a GL541 in line with a CP643 which the glue machine was actually a bottle neck because if you run SOIC's which require more glue dots then it will slowdown the

Yes there is RoHS certified ink it just cost twice as much as the regular ink. Just kidding Some people ask for RoHaaS compliance on cardboard boxes, pencils etc. What a mess $%^$ To answer your question, Ink is made from ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and

Hi Grant, just my opinion, I think the concern could be related to the extra temperature the BGAs have been exposed during the Lead Free Reflow Temperature. So you need to check ( data sheet) what is the max temperature and how long the Pb/BGA can w

Hi, Reliability was what I was worried about. We have not shipped these yet, as we are not sure about reliability. We can ship them in regions outside of the EU anytime so we are ok on that, and because of supply chain delays, we are already shippi

There are plenty of studies on this subject. If the BGA can handle the extra temperature and they are soldered on a leadfree profile, the general result seems to be a better reliability than Pb :) Just out of the top of my head, there was a link to

Hi, In our setup what we usually avoid is to use RoHS BGA on Pb process. But we use sometimes Pb transistor(4~6pins) on RoHS process, no BGA yet have been reported. Its really difficult to say about reability unless you start running some functional

Hi, That's a really interesting article, however one thing I am a little confused on. They seem to say a Pb-Pb solder joint is almost as bad as a Pb-lead free joint in their results. Are they saying the testing which looks like it cycles up to 125 D

We all know those academic 'reliability studies' are very focused and only give a snapshot of real life. The real reliability studies of leadfree are starting as we scramble to meet our numbers. We have no idea about your customers' expectations ab

Hi, That was another very interesting article posted. This article seems to point to the same conclusion, which is that lead free soldering is more reliable than Pb components with Pb paste, and Lead Free components with Pb paste? From what I see,
