Planning For Lead Free Solder

Most companies should, by now, have already begun phasing out lead (Pb) solder. The key is to understand the changes this will bring to the reliability of the production process, or products currently in the field. We will help your organization to confirm your lead free production process is as reliable as the lead process.

In addition to complete lead (Pb) free conversion, many companies attempt to mix lead (Pb) solder and lead (Pb) components, or vice versa. This is the reliability version of russian roulette. Without adequate testing and qualification you are taking a sizeable gamble.

We are committed to ensuring your products remain reliable throughout this new technology introduction.
