Lead-Free PCB Manufacturing and Assembly RoHS Certified

Why do You Need Lead-Free PCBs

A lead-free PCB/PCBA has a lead concentration smaller than 0.1% (1000ppm), and other hazardous substances PBB, PBDE, DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP, Cr 6+, Hg, and Cd smaller than 0.1%. RoHS-certified lead-free PCBs can be shipped and used worldwide.

In most of the world, such as Europe and North America, lead-free is a must requirement for PCB due to the RoHS and REACH Directives and other similar regulations.

The REACH and RoHS Directive mandate that electrical and electronics products be free of hazardous chemicals.

PCB, a pivotal part of electronic products, should be RoHS lead-free if your PCB and products need to enter the EU and most of the rest world.

Besides, exposure to lead brings permanent health risks. Nowadays, most OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) demand printed circuit boards to meet the RoHS lead-free standards.

What is Lead-Free PCB Assembly

Lead-free PCB assembly is a systematic requirement for electronics manufacturing.

Lead-free assembly requires the electronic components, solder paste, PCB boards, and the entire process and production lines to be lead-free.

Lead-free PCBs and lead-free solder paste have no lead content. Comparared with lead-containing PCBs, lead-free PCBs require higher temperatures for PCB fabrication and assembly.

During lead-free PCB assembly, the reflow soldering temperatures of lead-free assembly are about 40°C higher than leaded assembly. The peak temperature is about 255°C.

Advantages of Lead-Free PCBs

Lead-free PCBs are RoHS-compliant and have these advantages:

Your products can meet regulatory standards and be shipped worldwide.The lead-free assembly has better solderability than leaded assembly.Lead-free PCBs are hazardous-free. You and your clients are free from health risks using them and end-products.
