Since the RoHS legislation came into force in Europe the nature of electronics manufacturing, and soldering in particular has changed forever. RoHS compliance and lead free solder presents many new challenges to businesses involved in pcb manufacturing.

No-one seriously disputes that lead free solder is healthier for everyone involved in pcb assembly, but unleaded solder does present certain problems. Lead free solder does not flow as easily as leaded solder and the soldered joints on a pcb board look different on a leaded board, when compared to a board built using lead free solder.

The first thing you will notice is the lack of top fill on your through-plated pcb boards. It is rare to get more than a 75% fill on your pcb boards.

The second thing you will notice is that your lead free solder joints are not as shiny as the old style leaded joints that you will have been used to. This is simply down to the actual mix of lead free solder and should not be a cause for undue concern.

Does lead free solder melt at the same temperature as leaded solder?

No! Unleaded solder will melt at a higher temperature, the exact temperature will vary depending on the solder mix you choose to use. One common mix is 99% Tin, Copper 0.7%, and Silver 0.3%. This melts and flows without much difficulty at 275 degrees.

Preparing to use lead free solder for the first time.

Who has to use unleaded solder?

Almost all electronics assembly will have to be done using lead free processes. (See my article on RoHS compliance for more details).

What about soldering equipment?

It is very likely that most of your soldering equipment will need either replacement or adjustment to prepare it for lead free service.

At the very least your soldering irons will require new tips to avoid contamination issues, and you may find that you need to replace the entire soldering iron if you find it has trouble reaching the new higher temperature that is required for lead free soldering.

Bigger soldering equipment such as a wave soldering machine will probably need to have their soldering baths replaced and you may want to consider replacing the flux you use, as the pcb boards that you will now be soldering will be lead free as well.

Solder pots and other hand operated solder equipment can either have their baths replaced, or for a cheaper option you could try emptying them of solder, cleaning the bath, and coating it with a layer of oxide paint. Once it is dry you can fill your bath with new lead free solder and you are ready to start soldering again.

Mazda Brake Dust Shield as your Ultimate Rim Protection

Surely, with your Mazda, you can drive in pure exhilaration. This is true since Mazda is known to posses impressive features when it comes to aesthetics and performance. To further heighten its already dominant features, outfitting it with functional auto parts such as the Mazda brake dust shield is the smartest move you can make on your vehicle. This is usually an aluminum plate designed to be mounted between the rims and the brake disc and does the job of protecting the wheels from dust accumulation which are created during braking. Whether you have a polished set of chrome dubs or with an ultra light alloy wheels, still they are prone to brake dust that can just ruin their looks, leaving them with those unsightly dust patterns and grime. That is why having a brake dust shield is the best way of getting rid of the brake dust problems while preserving the gleaming looks of your wheels.

The Mazda brake dust shield is intended to provide a protective panel for your brake system so that brake dust and grime will not get in contact with the wheels. During braking, the brake dust shield traps and blocks the brake dust produced by the brake disc and restricts it from settling into the rims. It keeps your wheels constantly in a gleaming state. With the help of the brake dust shield you can maintain the quality and vibrant looks of your wheels. Not just that, it can help lengthen the life of your wheels as they are assured to be protected from the damaging effects of brake dust and grime. Of course, you can get rid of the brake dirt by scrubbing them off and cleaning them. But, constant scrubbing may only affect your wheel’s glimmer and can quickly wear it out. As with the brake dust shield, you will have the peace of mind of not worrying about the brake dirt as it can efficiently handle it.

Adding the Mazda brake dust shield to your vehicle will not affect the performance of its braking system. That is why, it is better to have it on your wheels than allowing it to be exposed to brake dirt and grime which can only lead to a faded and dull looking rims. This is designed to fit exactly on every Mazda model. It can be mounted easily just like an inside hubcap. It can be equipped on both front and rear wheels. Some might think that it is best to equip brake dust shield only on the front wheels as they perform 70% of braking and they can get dirtier far quicker. Although this is true, it is still best to have both wheels protected with top quality brake dust shields to totally get rid of brake dust problems. Under normal conditions, the brake dust shields can last for long while still providing its consistent protection to the wheels. But there will come a time that its replacement will be needed. When this happens, make sure to acquire only the right and perfectly fitted brake dust shield for your vehicle to get the same performance or even much better than the factory equipment.

How do I get the rear brake drums off a 1996 Toyota Paseo?

I have removed the wheel, dustcap,nut and bearing but the drum won't come off. I have located a rubber grommet in the back plate. Will this give me access to the star wheel to back off the adjuster,will I need a special tool or will a small screwdriver do the job,or am I on the wrong track? Thanks a lot. Sam D.

In some Toyotas there are a couple of small threaded holes near the center of the drum. In my Prius the screw that holds the spare tire down fits in there. A half dozen revolutions in each one and the drum pushes right off.
