In order to support the assembly processes in demand by the electronics industry, AIM is pleased to announce its lead-free seminars and consultation services.

Description:

With the WEEE/RoHS Directives outlawing lead from electronics in the EU by July 2006 and competition driving the implementation of lead-free electronics assembly around the world, manufacturers need to fully understand the steps to take to successfully transition to lead-free assembly. We are at the point of transition from a theoretical consideration to the practical implementation of lead-free electronic assembly.


To successfully achieve lead-free electronics assembly, each participant in the manufacturing process, from purchasing to engineering to maintenance to quality, must have a solid understanding of the changes required of them.


While there are many theoretical workshops on lead-free assembly, AIM's seminars and consultation focus on the practical considerations for achieving successful lead-free assembly at your factory. Each step of the manufacturing cycle is addressed, from purchasing parts to inspecting assembled PCBs. Solid advice, real world examples and helpful images of the means to overcome the many challenges of lead-free assembly are presented, including:




  • The status of lead-free legislation, marketing, and implementation worldwide.

  • Reasons For Hesitation To Move Towards Lead-Free Soldering

  • Design Considerations

  • Component Concerns

  • PWBs

  • Solder Alloy Considerations

  • Lead-Free Alloy Requirements

  • Lead-Free vs. Tin-Lead

  • Lead-Free Alloys Process and Materials Compatibility

  • Comparison of Various Lead-Free Alloys
