Use the forums nice search feature above. "Lead Free BGA" Lots of info. In short it seems the general consensus is that you are pretty much safe using your lead free BGA in a tin lead process, provided you run your peaks a little higher, and your

Hi I do not work for a board house but a manufacturing facility where we do a considerable amount of soldering wires to through holes. We pretin our through holes on both sides of the PCB prior to reflowing the solder and installing the conductor (w

DaveF, That's correct. This assembly is plain old tin-lead, but our buyer purchases the bare PCB with lead-free HASL plating. My main concern was the regular tin-lead not coalescing with the PCB plating and having a weak intermetallic. I'm not fr

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

I can't claim to be an expert....I've just bought a used RPS, and it'll be my first...but, after reading through their manual, and working on setting things up, I'd say: -Conceptually, I like the idea of moving the board rather than moving the entir

Soldering Bath - When we need to tin high-power contacts or a lot of wires, for example, in making harnesses, a regular soldering iron is either impossible to use due to the high thermal capacitance requirement, or takes way too long to perform the t

Hello SMTNet, We had received boards from our CM, some came with a Tin plated finish on the SMT hermaphroditic edge connector, while others came with Gold plated on the same connector. Tyco supplies both version and they apparently mixed up parts.

Dear Friends, Need your valuable feedback on how to identify the component is ok or not for manufacturing. Issue : We have parts which are more than 5 years old.And management want us to qualify this parts for production. We presently use below me

There are several areas you can check. Your profile is very fast. You reach the peak at around 3 minute mark. That's not enough time for the fillet to form. Try to slow down your belt speed to around 90-95, to give it more time. Also, your temperatur
