• This is dependent on the heat resistance of the devices. For H8, SH, and MPP family devices this is acceptable. So current H8, SH and MPP devices, with Sn-Pb lead plating, can be soldered using a lead-free soldering process. For R8C, M16C, M32C, 7xx family devices this is not consistently valid. These devices with Sn-Pb lead plating, might have problems to withstand the higher lead-free soldering temperatures. Please contact Renesas sales representatives for final confirmation.
