hi, NEMI recommends separate solders for reflow sodlering and wave soldering. Reflow soldering- Sn-3.9Ag-0.7Cu Wave sodlering- Sn-0.7CU Wavesoldering- Sn-0.7Ag What will happen if a mixed technolgy PCb board containing both through hole and surface mount components is used. WIll the manufacuters use two different solders...also how will the board handle two different solders if they are to be used like that.

From my understanding (and I am not a metalurgist)Most Lead free solders can be intercahngeable.The alloy created should be stable. The issue is if you add Leaded solder to the joint. Obviously, research and testing is still pending. cal
