How do I ensure that no mix-ups between LF and non-LF soldering materials will occur in the production floor?
A complete inventory list of all current materials should be conducted and the items should be clearly labeled and identified. The production lines should be well dedicated and segregated for leaded and lead-free to avoid any risk of cross-contamination. Kester’s lead-free soldering products are easily distinguishable by the use of different packaging colors for paste and shapes for solder bars. This has helped the customer in implementing a total lead-free solution.
