This paper will address the optimization of Pb Free soldering conditions, with a focus on differences between Sn/ Pb and Pb Free soldering. This allows assemblers to build on their extensive ...

In the belief that a proactive approach is the best way to take the lead out, the Solder Products Value Council of IPC (previously the Institute of Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits) ...

pv magazine’s UP sustainability campaign has investigated the use of lead in PV panels and found, with soldered cell interconnections in particular, viable alternatives are scarce. However, German ...

North America, the EU, and Japan are trying to eliminate lead from the printed-circuit-board (PCB) assembly process. Specifically, eliminating lead from soldering will and is having a huge impact on ...

OPES Solutions announces the mass production of lead-free soldered solar modules. By achieving lead-free soldering in the manufacturing process, the organization eliminates a harmful but common ...

X-ray and advanced automated techniques combine to create a capable tool for lead-free solder inspection needs. Within two years, solder used in electronics manufactured or sold in Europe must meet ...

AMES, Iowa – Fifteen years ago, an environmentally-friendly solder developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory made history as the first cost-effective, broadly useable alternative to ...

Intel will be eliminating a toxic heavy metal from its computer chip manufacturing process starting in the second half of this year. It will begin using lead-free solder with next-generation 45nm Hi-k ...
