The lead-free assembly challenge lies in using technology that allows electronics assemblers to maintain optimal thermal processes in the reduced lead-free process window. Lead-free solders reach liquidus at temperatures 20° to 50 °C higher than the lead-based solders conventionally used. Because many components cannot tolerate peak temperature above 235 °C, one characteristic of lead-free solders will be reduce the process window. Strategies for minimizing the challenges associated with this reduced process window, and the opportunities for optimizing the thermal process are discussed.
