One of our customers that always was going for Ni/Au surface finish on RoHS PCB and our processs was adjusted for that, "whithout any problem". Recently they decided to switch to another surface finsh: PbFree HASL. What is that? Imersion tin/silver?

All- good points and to be clear not all is in fun and jest. I support ROHS for the environmental issues. Get the lead out is my mantra, there's alot to consider for sure. I prefer to migrate that way, in time. Most my jobs are ROHS already, just a f

For RoHS assemblies, we're spec'ing at least FR-406 for the higher Tg. We're currently requesting our customers to use ENIG finish, as we've had better luck with assembly in our process; but we're currently experimenting wtih lead-free HASL. As far

Hello Reflow Masters; I'm using an Omniflo-10E reflow oven. Due to high demands of our production in lead free process, can I use my existing leaded line as an native? Does this option affect the lead contamination of the solder in Pb-Free to go bey

A view from my perspective - EU is becoming over-bureauocrated mastodont (e.g. now they have 23 OFFICIAL languages - meaning each document HAS to be translated to ALL of them), resulting in such idiotic laws as that RoHS initiative. It's similar to c

I don't know about that paste, but I can give my experience trying intrusive reflow (pin in paste). Using standard Lead-Free paste, we often had issues. It seems that many ROHS parts can't actually handle reflow ROHS temperatures. So the fact that

I am interested in RoHS "through-hole soldering": We have a problem with solder wetting and fillet during selective and wave soldering, with a Ni/Au PCBA!! Different fluxes has been tested, but this is really a big issue. Now; there is only a few fl

I have been following this thread with a great interest. However, the rules or legislations that control RoHS standards is maybe questionable, but I can't see why people/companys have so hard to think about the "next generation"? The fact is: RoHS is
