Information for Lead Free Solder Processes


ELV Compliant Products refer to the End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive 2000/53/EC. This directive requires products be free of lead, mercury, and cadmium and as of 2003-7-1. Please note however that lead can still be used as an alloying additive in copper and in solderable applications. These products comply with the ELV directive.

RoHS Compliant Products - Restrictions on Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC requires products be free of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE as of 2006-7-1. The director does state that lead can still be used as an alloying additive in copper. These products comply with the RoHS directive. Each of these products also comply with the ELV directive unless specifically indicated as RoHS/Not ELV compliant.

Eliminate Potential of Solder Bridges

If your wave soldering process during assembly results in solder bridges between two pins, adding more flux and reflowing often takes care of it. If not use a solder wick to remove just enough to break the bridge and re-flow. Because there's no hole to fill, SMT components don't need that much solder to make a joint. If the lead and the pad are both wetted, and there's even the slightest bead between them, it's good enough.

We would like to also suggest a good prevention method. Consider a good solution during your board layout to solve potential solder bridging problems . During the layout to of the blank PCB have the CAD/CAM designer cut 2mm solder pads which will preventing solder bridging problem or mask 2mm painting on both side of solder pad during the assembly process.
