Certain alloys, when used on a component or board coated with lead-tin solder, can form intermetallics, which will reduce the resulting solder joints mechanical integrity. Alternative lead-free solder alloys are being developed, but their introduction into electronics manufacturing has been slow due to the major changes to current manufacturing processes, electronic components, and inspection requirements. <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p class="bodyText"><span class="bodyText" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Lead-free solder alloys generally require higher temperatures, up to 260°C, as opposed to 215°C, to insure optimal solder joints, which can affect the reliability of boards and components. DCS has focused its efforts on sourcing, testing and qualifying lead free solders and components. </span></p> <p class="bodyText">While the industry strives to create lead-free alternatives that are equally durable, some applications (i.e. certain medical equipment, etc.) is exempt from complaince with the RoHS Directive.
