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 viscous (sticky, less prone to fl ow) 

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.

CN7001, IC4001 and IC5001 cannot exchange with single. When 

CN7001, IC4001 and IC5001 are damaged, exchange the entire 

mounted board.

IC101 cannot exchange with single. When IC101 is damaged, ex-

change the entire mounted board.
