Technical issues for lead-free products include:

| o |
Development of lead-free material while maintaining substrate mounting technology |
| o |
Improvement of heat-resistance for IC packages |
| o |
Customers must ensure that the re-flow profile is compatible with remainder of components on their Printed Circuit Board (PCB) |

Mounting Conditions for Lead-Free Products

| � |
In general, mounting with lead-free soldering paste requires increased re-flow temperature.
Current heat resistance of a surface-mount package is designed to resist a maximum re-flow peak temperature of 260�C. However, package templates can vary by product. Please review re-flow profiles for each product |
