Leaded Conversion Services

Specializing in MRO, Industrial Automation, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Motion, Electrical Control Equipment, Electrical, Robotic, Mechanical and Board Level-Components.

Leaded Conversion Services

Intransit Technologies’ Leaded Conversion services are similar to our RoHS Conversion Services, but doing the opposite.  We can replace the current solder to a leaded solder or your solder of choice.   This service is mainly requested by DoD contractors or the Medical industry as their requirements for higher reliability in solder is demanded.  Using a leaded solder does come with some advantages in reliability, but is limited to only a few industries due to the toxic nature of lead.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is RoHS Conversion?

Through a process of hot solder dipping we are able to convert the terminals on IC or Passive component packages to a RoHS based solder.  

 

What is Leaded Conversion? 

We can convert a RoHS solder based device by adding a LEADED Non-RoHS solder to the terminals/pins for mainly the military or medical applications where higher reliability is required and authorized by industry standards.

 

What are the solders available that you can retin or reball with?

Our main choice for RoHS conversion is SAC305( Sn96.5 Ag3.0 Cu.5), but to list some other and some include lead depending on you needs are; Sn63 Pb37, Sn5 Pb93.5 Ag1.5, Sn96.5 Ag3.5 and we have worked with many customer requested solders to meet a special need. 

 

What type of packages can you work with?

Bulk, Tape and Reel, Tube and Trays.

 

What can you do automated?
Trays can be automated via our robotic machine to handle the pickup/load to auto flux to solder dip to place back in tray/unload.  All the parts in the tray can be handled without human touch.

 

Do you bake the parts to ensure no damage occurs during services?
Yes! We bake the parts prior to a job and after a job to ensure there is no moisture inside the parts.  This is a critical step to keep the integrity of the parts throughout the job. 

 

Testing Services?
XRF testing, Solderability testing, S-CAM, X-RAY and many others.  Please inquire about the specific testing service you’d like and we can quote it accordingly.

 

My ICs are on PCBs; can you salvage these and convert them to RoHS compliant , Leaded or your preferred solder?
YES. Most IC packages from all types of PCBs. We can safely salvage devices using specially developed controlled IR, Hot-air or by chemical solder removal with no or minimal stress on the salvaged device. Salvaged devices can then be converted.

 

Can you convert Discrete devices?
Yes. We can convert almost all discrete devices both active and passive provided their levels of banned substances (apart from Lead) are below their respective RoHS thresholds.

 

What IC, PASSIVE, BGA, DISCRETE and other component packages can you convert or repair?

Almost all IC packages can be converted to Pb-free. This includes BGA, PGA, TSOP, SSOP, QFP, SOIC, PLCC, CDIP, PDIP and customized packages.

COB Chip on board Bare die supplied without a package. It is mounted directly to the PCB using bonding wires and covered with a blob of black Epoxy. Also used for LEDs. In LEDs, transparent epoxy or a silicon caulk-like material that may contain a phosphor is poured into a mold containing the LED(s) and cured. The mold forms part of the package.
COF Chip-on-flex Variation of COB, where a chip is mounted directly to a flex circuit. Unlike COB, it may not use wires nor be covered with epoxy, using underfill instead.
TAB Tape-automated bonding Variation of COF, where a flip chip is mounted directly to a flex circuit without the use of bonding wires. Used by LCD driver ICs.
COG Chip-on-glass Variation of TAB, where a chip is mounted directly to a piece of glass - typically an LCD. Used by LCD and OLED driver ICs.
BGA Ball grid array Ball Grid Array BGA uses the underside of the package to place pads with balls of solder in grid pattern as connections to PCB.
