The "Green" electronics movement is truly a worldwide phenomenon. On July 1st, 2006, the European Union will begin restricting the material content of electronic products being shipped within and into the EU. There are several elements and compounds affected (see table below). The most common is lead (Pb). “Lead-free” it is not just an issue in Europe and companies cannot wait until 2006 to get started. Materials suppliers are shipping lead-free products today, and competitors are preparing for the transition now. In this dynamic environment FINETECH is fully committed, and prepared to meet the customer's needs.
Below you will find information about solutions for your lead free application. If you need more details and support please contact our sales team or contact a FINETECH sales representative responsible for your region.
The main characteristics of lead free solders are reduced self alignment and wetting effect, as well as higher melting temperature. This results in a smaller process window. JEDEC recommends a specific soldering profile taking the above properties into account. The Controlled Mix Soldering System (COMISS) - part of the FINEPLACER® System - offers the technical know how to cope with the JEDEC requirements.
