Hey folks, I was interested in any information that you might have on tombstone reduction when using a lead free solder and profile. Thanks for any input that you may have! -Russ #x

proper pad geometries, accurate placement, and good reflow profile. Are you having problems right now?

with lead-free solders, one would expect to find less instances of tombstoning. this is because SAC alloys are not eutectic and melt over a range of temp (usually 217-220 deg C) instead of at a single temperature. therefore the forces due to solder surface tension are more gradual and there is lesser chance of force mismatch.
