In Reply to: How is the lead free solder... posted by wheezer on February 21, 2006 at 08:41:05:
I don't really understand your question.But on the pb free run down,
1. you have to solder at a higher temp for the pb free solder, the lead lowered the melting point.
2. pb free solder when solidfied does not look as shiny as leaded.
3. you can solder lead free parts with leaded solder, but soldering lead parts with lead free solder will not work very well. This goes for tips also. Make sure you get a new soldering tip and tin it with lead free solder.
4. The prefered pb free solder at the moment is SAC 305, but there are others being used.
5. The flux tends to be more aggressive and so tends to be harder to remove, but Flux-Off will still work.
6. 85% to 90% of all electronic components currently are pb free.
7. all electronics going to EU and parts of Asia need to be pb free by July 1, 2006.
there are a bunch of websites up that deal with this type of information. pbfree.com and others.
