Lead-Free Test Vehicle

Jul 09, 2002

European Council Directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) proposes restrictions on the use of Pb among other materials in electronic products. The Environmental Directorate proposed several changes with requirements for hazardous material substitutions proposed for January 1, 2004.

Due to environmental concerns, the need for lead-free solutions in electronic components and systems is receiving increasing attention within the semiconductor and electronics industries. Practical Components is committed to working with our customers to be able to offer products that meet their specific needs in this area. Practical offers a variety of �dummy� packages in lead-free finishes to offer a wide range of products to our customers. Many Component suppliers, including Tessera, K&S Flipchip and Amkor are producing lead-free finishes.

Practical Components supplies a select range of SMT components in 100% tin, Nickel/Barrier, Sn/Ag/Cu, Sn/Ag, Sn/Ag/In/Cu and Sn/Cu.Practical�s expanding line of lead-free packages include:

�BGA

FlipChip

CABGA/CTBGA

TABGA/flexBGA

PBGA

QFP

TQFP

LQFP

TSOP

PLCC

SOIC

CAPACITORS

RESISTORS

Dummy Components are exact mechanical equivalents of live components used when only the physical properties of the components are required. These components can cost as much as 80% less than live components making the ideal for testing of solder processes, machine setup and other process evaluations.
