Lead free and product design
Hi Technos,
"our designs are perfect, lead-free is a manufacturing problem"... Does this sound familiar to you? Well, I got to hit this wall, me too.
Our product developpers don't really feel like they should hop into this train.
There are 2 things I would like to ask you:
- what ammo (technical, of course) should I use to change their minds
- besides deciding on a suitable alternative finish of the PCB, higher Tg FR4, picking the right components, is the intimate design of the PCBs affected by the Pb-free? I mean, different land patterns, clearances, via technologies, etc.? What about solder masks and marking inks?
Any clue would be largely appreciated.
Thanks,
Ioan
