Hello, I hope all is well with everyone. I'd like to get advice from the experts! And I know where to find them... I have a question regarding Board Material for Lead-free, RoHS design. I am dealing with high-volume/low-cost processes, usually sent overseas for bare board manufacturing. Another issue is, we are using a lead-free FR4 type, HASL finish. 1) When specifying board material, is it necessary to specify a higher temperature rating? 2) What are the advantages? Disadvantages, other than cost? Thank You In Advance for your help, Kitty Kitty Hines The Chamberlain Group, Inc.
