1. ABOUTLEADFREE SOLDER (PbF:Pbfree)
Note:
Intheinformation below, Pb, thesymbol for leadintheperiodictableofelements,
will refertostandard solderor solderthat containslead.
Wewill use PbF solderwhendiscussing theleadfree solderusedinour
manufacturing process whichismadefromTin(Sn), Silver(Ag), and Copper(Cu).
3

Thismodel, and otherslike it, manufacturedusing leadfree solderwill have PbF
stampedon thePCB. For service and repairworkwesuggest using thesametype
ofsolderalthough, withsomeprecautions, standard Pbsoldercanalsobeused.
Caution
- PbF solderhas amelting pointthat is50°F~70°F(30°C~ 40°C) higherthanPb
solder. Please use asoldering iron withtemperaturecontrol and adjust itto
700°F±20°F(370°C±10°C). Incase ofusing high temperaturesoldering iron,
please becareful nottoheat too long.
- PbF solderwill tend tosplashifitisheatedmuchhigherthanits melting point,
approximately1100°F(600°C).
- Ifyou must use Pbsolderon aPCB manufacturedusing PbF solder, remove as
muchoftheoriginal PbF solderas possibleand besurethat anyremaining is
meltedprior toapplying thePbsolder.
- Whenapplying PbF soldertodoublelayeredboards, please check the
componentsidefor excess whichmay flowontotheopposite side(See thefigure
below).
