What issues should I be concerned about when dealing with RoHS-compliant products?
You should note that some alternative compounds have a higher melting point than the tin-lead compound. As such, a substantially higher re-flow temperature may be required for RoHS-compliant alternatives. Manufacturing equipment to handle material with these high temperatures, such as a multi-zone oven, is costly, and will require significant investment from your company or your contract manufacturer. In addition, since RoHS-compliant is still a relatively new technology, the industry is still in the process of compiling its long-term reliability data. However, Altera has extensive expertise in this field, and works closely with customers to ensure a successful transition to RoHS-compliant products.
