Lead-free is defined as absence of a significant amount of lead (Chemical symbol Pb) in a package or part make-up. In an IC package, Pb is commonly found in the external lead finish or plating. In Chip Scale Packages (UCSP and FlipChip), Pb is found in the Solder Bumps.

Lead is a metal with no known biological benefit to humans. Too much lead can damage various systems of the body including the nervous and reproductive systems and the kidneys, and it can cause high blood pressure and anemia. Lead accumulates in the bones and lead poisoning may be diagnosed from a blue line around the gums. Lead is especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and young children and to pregnant women. Lead interferes with the metabolism of calcium and Vitamins D.

Many package types are already qualified as lead-free and others are in the qualification process. All Maxim Integrated Products part numbers can be identified as to their qualification status. If a part is qualified as lead-free, then the Maxim Integrated Products Business Units will make the decision to manufacture and offer the package as lead-free per customer request. Please refer to the Lead-free Information page for packages qualified as lead-free.

We clean the parts that we receive with our automated washing system. This removes foreign elements that may interfere with the painting process. Things such as grease and dirt contaminate the paint and weaken the bond between the powder and the metal. Corrosion of the substrate can ruin the paint job well after the part has been returned to the customer. It literally eats away at the paint, causing it to chip and fall off. Most rust can only be removed with sandblasting equipment or by hand.
