Abstract
In this paper, we first describe the technical feasibility of candidate lead-free printed circuit assemblies (PCA) solutions. This discussion focuses on the two major classes of lead-free solders: high temperature, with alloy melting temperatures above that of conventional 63Sn-37Pb, and low temperature, with alloy melting temperatures below that of 63Sn-37Pb. Next, we review HP's goals for producing lead-free products and strategies for meeting these goals. We then present the current status of our investigations, and finally our key technical and business learnings and recommendations.
