1. Has ALD implemented a compliance plan for Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD declares and certifies our Pb-Free products are currently compliant with the requirements of the European Union of 'Restriction of Hazardous Substances' in electrical and electronic equipment, (RoHS) Directive 2015/863. |
|
|
|
|
| |
2. What Moisture Sensitivity Levels (MSL) does ALD use to qualify Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The moisture-sensitivity reflow condition ALD uses to qualify Pb-Free products is Level 1, 260°C for 10 seconds |
|
| |
|
|
| |
3. Does ALD indicate in the part number that a product is Pb-Free?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Yes, ALD's Pb-Free components have a part number with an "L" suffix, for "Lead Free", added to the standard IC part number. For example, the lead free version of the ALD1702SA is ALD1702SAL. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
4. What is the plating alloy for Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The plating alloy used is 100% Matte Tin. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
5. Has ALD phased out Pb-plating completely?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
No. ALD continues to support Pb-plating. There are no plans to phase out Pb-plating of its components. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
6. How are ALD RoHS compliant parts identified? Are there any additional marking(s) on the component bodies? Otherwise, how is this information indicated?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
See item #4 above. ALD components are clearly marked with the added "L" suffix, which corresponds to pertinent datasheets. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
7. Does ALD plan to EOL (End Of Life) current product lines, as a result of RoHS implementation?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD has no plans to EOL (End of Life) current product lines. ALD will continue to support Pb-plating of its components. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
8. For ALD's standard product line, what is the MAX temperature that Pb-Free devices can withstand?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The maximum temperature that Pb-Free devices can withstand is 260°C for 10 seconds. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
9. What is the molding compound used in ALD Pb-Free products?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
ALD uses Sumitomo G600, or equivalent, molding compound. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
10. Is there a difference in cost for the Pb-Free versus non-Pb-Free version of a part?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
In many cases, there is a cost difference between the Pb-Free and non-Pb-Free part. The manufacturing processes are different and Pb-Free and non-Pb-Free parts are not interchangable. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
11. Can I use Pb-Free parts in an environment where the solder and other components contain Pb?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Individual users may have to qualify Pb-Free parts in their assembly. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
12. Does ALD provide a Certificate of Compliance for Pb-Free parts?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Yes. ALD will provide a Certificate of Compliance upon request. |
