GUIDELINES FOR LEAD FREE SOLDER Information on Manually Repairing PCB Soldered with Lead-Free Solder This document provides information on how to correctly make manual repairs to a printed circuit board (PCB) soldered with lead-free solder. 1. Characteristics of lead-free solder Melting point higher than that of conventional tin-lead solder (Lead-free solder: approx. 220'C, Conventional tin-lead solder: approx.
CHAPTER 4 DISASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY 5. Precautions for hand soldering operations 1) Soldering operations using lead-free solder are basically the same as those using tinlead solder, however, due to the lead-free solder's characteristics of being difficult to melt, wet, and spread, as well as being hard, a soldering iron needs to be applied for a longer period of time than when soldering with conventional tin-lead solder.
MFC-8420/8820D/8820DN, DCP-8020/8025D/8025DN SERVICE MANUAL 6. Soldering irons When soldering is performed manually using lead-free solder, a soldering iron that has little reduction in its temperature needs to be used. This refers to a soldering iron that has a smaller degree of decrease in the temperature at the soldering iron's tip, such as when the soldering iron is applied to the base metal or solder is supplied, and the temperature is soon returned to the specified temperature.
