1. Has ALD implemented a compliance plan for Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD declares and certifies our Pb-Free products are currently compliant with the requirements of the European Union of Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive, 2002/95/EC. |
|
|
|
|
| |
2. What Moisture Sensitivity Levels (MSL) does ALD use to qualify PB-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The moisture-sensitivity reflow condition ALD uses to qualify Pb-Free products is Level 1, 260°C for 10 seconds |
|
| |
|
|
| |
3. Will there be a change to ALD's part numbers on new Pb-Free components?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD's Pb-Free components essentially will have a new part number. An "L" suffix for "Lead Free" will be added to the standard IC. For example, the lead free version of the ALD1702PA will become ALD1702PAL. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
4. What is the plating alloy for Pb-Free solutions?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The plating alloy solutions used is 100% Matte Tin. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
5. Will ALD be phasing out Pb-plating completely?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
No. ALD will continue to support Pb-plating. There are no plans to phase out Pb-plating of its components. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
6. How will ALD RoHS compliant parts be identified? Will there be any additional marking(s) on the component bodies? Otherwise, how will this information be identified?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
See item #4 above. ALD components will be clearly marked with the added "L" suffix, which will correspond to pertinent datasheets. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
7. Does ALD plan to EOL (End Of Life) current product lines, as a result of RoHS implementation?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD has no plans to EOL (End of Life) current product lines. ALD will continue to support Pb-plating of its components. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
8. For ALD's standard product line, what is the MAX temperature that Pb-Free devices can withstand?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The maximum temperature that Pb Free devices can withstand is 260°C for 10 seconds. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
9. What is the molding compound used in ALD Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD uses Sumitomo G600 for molding compound. The Lead Finish is 100% Matte Tin. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
10. Is there a difference in cost for a Pb-Free part versus standard part?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
In many cases, there is no cost difference between a Pb-Free and standard part. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
11. Can I use Pb-Free parts in an environment where the solder and other components contain Pb?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Individual users may have to qualify Pb-Free parts in their assembly even though there may not be a difference for a particular process. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
12. Does ALD provide a Certificate of Compliance for these Lead Free parts?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Yes. ALD will provide a Certificate of Compliance upon request. |
