6.5 – Thermal process optimization provides reduced energy consumption

Posted by Piotr Kaênica on 01 May 2006 at 00:00

Due to the higher melting point of lead-free Sn-Ag-Cu alloy, higher reflow soldering temperatures are required for lead-free PCB assembly. Consequently, reflow oven energy consumption increases as well.

This research work is focused on the potential opportunity to reduce higher energy requirements with the use of modern thermal profiling and process optimization software.
