May 2005 - Excel announces addition of "Lead-free" HASL process as an alternate option to standard tin/lead solder. Environmental concerns have driven the industry in search of alternatives to the classic tin/lead solder coating process. Fortunately, research rendered tin-based alloys that do NOT include lead, and provide several advantages including: (1) Superior surface planarity (2) Extended shelf-life compared to classic tin/lead (3) Improved topography, especially on fine pitch and small surface mount features. This leads to improved gasketing for solder paste applications reducing shorts and solder balling during assembly. The new higher tin content alloys also offer superior solderability for final assembly, and require absolutely NO adjustments in processes or parameters by the final assembler.
The advantages are many ~ all conversion is implemented entirely by the bare-board manufacturer.
Excel has placed the order for the new HASL machine from Lantronics Corporation. Scheduled for delivery (from Europe) mid June 2005.
NOTE: Traditional tin/lead HASL will remain available indefinitely.
