Synopsis

Based on the results of a more than two-year study, Lead-Free Electronics: iNEMI Projects Lead to Successful Manufacturing is the first practical, primary reference to cover Pb-free solder assembly as well as the analysis and reasoning behind the selection of Sn-Ag-Cu as the recommended Pb-free replacement for Sn-Pb.

Reflecting the results of a two-year study, Lead-Free Electronics: iNEMI Projects Lead to Successful Manufacturing provides full coverage of the issues surrounding the implementation of Pb-free solder into electronic board assembly. This book is extremely timelyâ??most electronic manufacturers are going to change over to Pb free soldering by 2006 to meet new European laws. All manufacturers around the globe are going to be affected by this change. The text provides specific results from the thirty company NEMI project activities. It contains integrated and fully documented book chapters with references to existing published work in the area. These serve as tremendous resources for engineers and companies faced with making the switch to Pb-free solder assembly.

From the Back Cover

A timely and practical treatment of implementation of lead-free solder in the manufacturing environment

In order to meet new laws in Europe, electronic manufacturers around the globe have had to change over to lead-free soldering. Now, Lead-Free Electronics is the first practical, primary reference to cover lead-free solder assembly, as well as the analysis and reasoning behind the selection of Sn-Ag-Cu as the recommended lead-free replacement for Sn-Pb.

Reflecting the results of a two-year study undertaken by a cross-section of some of the largest North American electronic equipment manufacturers, Lead-Free Electronics provides full coverage of the issues surrounding the implementation of lead-free solder into electric board assembly. Additionally, fully documented book chapters with references to existing published work in the area make this an invaluable reference for the countless engineers and companies faced with making the switch to lead-free electronics.
