Lead-free
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
The push toward lead-free electronics assemblies is a main focus of APEX. At the center of the IPC`s efforts to educate the industry about the lead-free issue is the development of the IPC Roadmap for Lead-free Electronics Assemblies. Begun at IPCWorks, the roadmap provides guidelines for implementing lead-free soldering processes. Industry representatives will have an opportunity to provide input during APEX at a roadmap meeting taking place March 16.
There will also be two paper presentation sessions on lead-free, both on March 14. Eliminating Lead from Electronics: Lead-free Alloys, chaired by Dr. Paul Vianco, Sandia National Laboratories, examines options and tradeoffs between lead-free solder alloys; while Processing with Lead-free Solders, chaired by Dr. R. Wayne Johnson, Auburn University, addresses the use of lead-free solders in the assembly of electronics.
