David, You just provided enough material to start an endless debate in an unexplored field (acceptable impurities, levels and effect on reliability in high tin content (lead free alloys). High tin content alloys have a high affinity to metals like C

Hey guys. I've been manually dunking circuit boards for 8 years now. I too have the excess residue issue to contend with. I'm using a low solids - no clean flux from Kester (959). I have used solvents, thinners, windex and a multititude of cleane

Dave, I'm going to disagree with you on the ENIG, it's my 3rd choice only just beating out OSP for that 4th spot. 1. Immersion Silver - cheaper than ENIG, as flat and no issues with Brittle interface (black pad) or Gold Embrittlement) Longer shelf l

No, experience, but a couple of comments are: * Your 2mm leads are proabably not ment to be trimmed. Consider returning these and buying components with shorter leads. [We know, we know. You have to build this piece of junk right NOW!!!! B-)] * I

Electrovert has a new nozzle design called UltraFill. It was designed specifically for Pb Free applications and generates about 40% less dross than the previous Lambda design. UltraFill can of course be used for Sn/Pb alloys. The name UltraFill is fo

Chen, It is always best to place one�s effort on determining the cause and content of the residue rather than trying to work around it. The first thing you must determine is the nature of the residue. Is it flux? In many instances, the residue is

Hi Ken, It looks like you have some solid practical experience in the transition from leaded to lead-free soldering. I hope you don�t mind me asking a question. With conventional soldering we have a library of workmanship standards available (SMT,

Hi Ken, Thank you for the reply Ken. I hope I don�t get my behind in trouble for subject change in this thread. But you hit the nail on the head in your comment with Hitachi, when they converted to lead-free they had a �5 times higher defect rate� i
