Please read this information before placing your order. Thank you for your interest in RoHS compliant boards. Since this is a new process we want to make sure our customers review all of the necessary information before placing their order. When placing a lead free order, simply choose the "Silver RoHS" option for plate finish. Also, please review the information below before ordering your lead free boards

REQUEST A RoHS SAMPLE BOARD

Lead Free Material
We use High Tg, High Td, and Low CTE laminate which complies with all RoHS requirements and  can withstand several heat cycles. Review our material comparison for more details on lead free materials. 

Advisement to Customers
For immersion processes such as silver (our process), electroless Ni/immersion Au, tin and osp, it is recommended by the manufactures of those products that via holes be cleared of soldermask to assure proper plating and good rinsing.  Not everyone adheres to this process, but we strongly recommend it.

Here’s how it works:  Unless specifically asked by a customer NOT to modify the soldermask via clearances, we will add or adjust the via clearances so they are slightly larger then the drilled hole. This will leave the hole open and the edges of the pad covered. 

For the customer, this simply means that you do nothing, we will take care of it. Customers will often already have a soldermask clearance over the whole pad, in this case we will not make any changes. Sunstone Circuits reserves the right to add a date code and/or a "RoHS Compliant" marking to the board.
