Hi Gabi,
Some time ago I attended seminar on joints reliability in lead-free era. As
PCB manufacturer I have limited knowledge on assembly etc, but this seminar
left me breathless, especially the part on re-works : uncertain data on
composition of finishings on leads, no enough data on solder paste , doubts
on quality of finishing on PCB, unwashed flux, questions on reflow profile.
Our life will be more interesting that it used to be, it for sure this will
be not fun.
You should address your question to the people that set Lead Free
milestones.
Regards
Edward
