HI, I actually have ask the same question a while back. Yes, using lead free component in a leaded process should be no problem at all. May required just a little hotter peak temp. during reflow, to achive optimal solderability.

Could you advise what is the min and max peak temperature for this process. Presently, my leaded peak temperature at the range of 215 - 225 deg.C And how do I know that the solderability is at optimal.

Appreciate your help......

I have found that with the TI ni/pd platings that a peak temp of 226 C is the best for joint strength.

Ya Russ is right for Ti Parts they tend to use more pelladium, which requires a bit more heat average temp increase is about 10 degrees C. from 225-235. As far as optimum solder joint I look for fillets on all sides of leads. The back of the lead is hard to see without magnification, but the front toe and the sides should flow up half the thickness of leg or better with good miniscus.
