Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with

the lead free mark due to their particular size)

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

•

Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 

°

C higher

than ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 

°

C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if

the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

•

Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.

•

Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

•

Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 

°

C

during repairing.

•

Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).

•

Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

•

Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

•

Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
