(Sigh, it's getting ridiculous - soon we won't be able to find leaded parts even if our assemblies don't have to follow the RoHS directive) Jason Gregory Manufacturing Engineer Innova Electronics (281)653-5593 (281)653-5594 fax (281)212-0844 cell [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Susan Mansilla Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 10:08 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] LEAD FREE PART IN SNPB PROCESS Happy Friday to All I have a customer who is now being supplied with parts that the terminations are SnAgCu (95.5/4/0.5) instead of the previous SnPb. His process is not lead free and the parts are not always wetting and forming an adequate joint. What are his choices? Can he/should he take his SnPb line to lead free temps in an attempt to solder these parts - reflow process?
