Backward Compatibility
As described below table, for Lead-frame type Lead(Pb)-free devices of Samsung Electronics can be integrated regardless of whether the assembly processes have already been converted to Lead-free or not.However the compatubility of BGA type devices is not fully guaranteed(soldering below 230°C is critical) since they will require a higher soldering temperature than Leaded(Pb) equivalents.The main difference between Leaded(Pb) and Leaded(Pb)-free soldering process is the temperature range : Leaded(Pb)-soldering (235°C-260°C).
Backward Compatibility
