Hey technetters- We adopted the ENIG finish for our RoHS compliant parts 2 years ago. We recently had discussions with our primary pcb vendor and they recommended we switch to a Tg170 FR4 material for our pcbs instead of our standard Tg130 we have been using for years. This recommendation was made because of the higher reflow temperatures necessary for the lead free process. Is this standard practice? we are a little hesitant to make the switch as it would mean an approximate 5%price increase on all our pcbs. Any input is appreciated. thanks, Lenny Carter ERG, Inc. www.ergpower.com --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
