Will RCD make recommendations for the PCB assembly process for leadfree assembly ?
Yes RCD can assist by supplying recommended solder profiles, etc. Will the change to lead-free plating require obsolescence of any devices. RCD continually reviews it’s product lines to ensure that active products are maintained. There are occasions where limited sales may be the cause for obsoletion. Leadfree processing will not directly cause the obsoletion of any RCD part numbers, but may prompt a review of the sales history of each part to ensure that there are active sales.
