    The Challenges of Implementing a Halogen-Free Electronics Assembly Process

    The electronics industry continues to strive to provide more environmentally friendly products. This movement is partly due to legislation from various countries, partly due to public outcry from well publicized 3rd world recycling practices, and partly due to non-government organizations (NGOs) testing and publishing information on electronic devices regarding their content of various toxic materials. One set of materials targeted for reduction and eventual elimination are halogenated compounds. Halogens are found in plastics for cables and housings, board laminate materials, components, and soldering fluxes. Replacing these halogenated compounds can have a dramatic affect on the PCB assembly process. In this paper those challenges will be discussed as well as techniques and practices that will help ensure high end of line yields and continued reliability.
