Are Intel products backwards compatible (use of Pb-free alloy product with SnPb paste)?
A15. Lead frame products with 100% tin on the leads are backwards and forwards compatible. It is necessary on most lead-frame products to change the mold compound and possibly other materials in the package to maintain an acceptable MSL rating at the elevated Pb-free processing temperatures. Customers need to ensure that tin plated lead-frame product is rated at Pb-free processing temperatures.
