Lead Free Implementation

Implementing lead free technology includes many aspects of your organization.  We hope these tools and references will be helpful to you.  

Here is IPC's Official Position on Lead Free.

Four major technical areas for lead free implementation include Lead Free Solder Selection; Tin Whiskers; Lead Free Components; and Printed Circuit Board Materials for Lead Free Assemblies.

Lead Free implementation requires cooperating throughout your supply chain.  Tools for working with your supply chain include materials declaration and labeling and other IPC standards. Unfortunately, our latest members-only report shows that EMS manufacturers have expressed major dissatisfaction with component manufacturers.

IPC can help you connect with peers through our lead free list serve and to expert presentations through live programs.  You'll find more tools and reference materials here.
