1. Lead Free: What is happening in the USA? David W. Bergman IPC Vice President Standards, Technology and International Relations June 2002

2. You Can’t win!!!

3. Change

5. If a terrorist wanted to sabotage the World Electronics industry, he'd come up with lead free solder.

6. Recycle

9. The High Tech Trashing of China

10. Recycling WEEE US electronic waste for recycling 50-80% of “e-waste” collected for recycling is shipped to Asia (China, India, Pakistan) –according to unidentified “Informed Industry Sources” Ignores the Basel Convention 1994 on hazardous waste. U.S. is not a signatory to this convention.

11. Lobby against Change

12. IPC Board of Directors Position Statement uThe US electronic interconnection industry, represented by the IPC, uses less than 2% of the world’s annual lead consumption. Furthermore, all available scientific evidence and US government reports indicate that the lead used in US printed wiring board (PWB) manufacturing and electronic assembly produces no significant environmental or health hazards. Nonetheless, in the opinion of IPC, the pressure to eliminate lead in electronic interconnections will continue in the future from both the legislative and competitive sides. IPC encourages and supports research and development of lead-free materials and technologies. These new technologies should provide product integrity, performance and reliability equivalent to lead-containing products without introducing new environmental risks or health hazards. IPC prefers global rather than regional solutions to this issue, and is encouraging a coordinated approach to the voluntary reduction or elimination of lead by the electronic interconnection industry.

13. Political Activities European Commission (EC) Waste Electrical and Electronic Environment (WEEE) Directive –Seeks to increase recycling and recovery of waste equipment. Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) –Bans lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBBs, PBDEs

14. EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) The January rule (66 FR 4499-4547) lowered the reporting thresholds for lead and lead compounds to 45kg from 12,000 kg. Many IPC member companies will be filing reports for the first time under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

15. EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Companies using >130kg eutectic SnPb per year will meet the threshold TRI for 2001 emissions due July 1, 2002 EPA’s ignored to SBREFA leading to industry lawsuit –Application of PBT Criteria to metals not supported by sound science –Rule did not properly evaluate the effects on small business (as required by law)

16. Who you gonna Lobby?

43. Hewlett Package Position

44. HP’s Position on Lead Elimination (approved for External Use) Actively investigating alternatives to the use of lead (Pb) in its electronic assemblies. An industry standard solution is best for the supply chain. Implementation timelines depend on proven reliability, regulations, market demand, supply, cost, and scientific evidence of the alternative being environmentally better than lead (Pb).

45. Expectations for HP’s Supply Chain Partners Planning The Supplier is expected to provide HP a written plan as to how it intends to meet the timelines Cost Implication Notification Must provide information about any cost impact of the lead-free conversion … and work with HP to minimize the impact of such a conversion on cost. Reliability Impact The Supplier must provide HP any info identified impacting quality, yield or long term reliability. Labeling The Supplier must provide a product labeling plan. Design Impact The Supplier is expected to develop design for manufacturability and test rules

46. Pb-free Program Assumptions EU Pb-free compliance date is expected to be Jan 1, 2006. NEMI’s choice of SMT solder alloy (Sn/Ag/Cu) will be adopted by the industry. Alloy choice for wave solder processing is likely to be either Sn/Cu, Sn/Ag, or Sn/Ag/Cu. Peak processing temperature will be 260 o C max for as long as 90sec. HP’s plans may change, depending on the marketplace, legislative outcomes, and internal program schedules.

47. Pb-free Program Schedule January 2002 Roll out the Pb-free program May 1, 2002 Supplier plans to HP May - Dec 2002 HP integrates feedback with EU legislation and builds plans June 2002 Pb-free evaluation products and services available February 2003 HP rolls out Pb-free schedules and supplier requirements June 2003 Pb-free qualification products and services available June 2004 Pb-free components available for volume shipments * May be subject to change

48. IPC and JEDEC

49. Issue: Small mass components on large mass boards can exceed MSL test temperatures!

50. Note 1: Package volume excludes external terminals (balls, bumps, lands, leads) and or non-integral heat sinks. Note 2: The maximum component temperature reached during reflow depends on package thickness and volume. The use of convection reflow processes reduces the thermal gradients between packages. However, thermal gradients due to differences in thermal mass of SMD Packages may still exist. Note 3: Components intended for use in a “Lead Free” assembly process shall be evaluated using the “Pb Free” peak temperature and profiles defined in Tables 2 and 5 regardless of being Pb free or not. Note 4: It is possible that very large (>1400 cm 2 ) thick boards (>2.5 mm) that use components with a wide range of thermal mass might have difficulty maintaining all component bodies below the maximum temperatures in this specification. In such cases, the MSL level must be determined based on the body temperature the component will attain. A note to remind users that they may need to set unique requirements:

51. Conclusion U.S. Companies are: Driven by European Legislation. Fueled by Japanese marketing drive. Changing slowly – solutions will be in place by RoHS dates. Tin/Silver/Copper will be alloy of choice for first wave lead elimination.
