Following the introduction of the RoHS Directive and the forthcoming restriction of lead in soldering materials different process parameters are required to handle the new generation of solder alloys and board finishes. To assist those performing assembly, rework and repair operations the characteristics of RoHS compliant products have been categorised by JEDEC standards under three headings:

MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level), PBT (Peak Body Temperature) and 2nd Level Interconnect (Terminal Finish/Material).

This vital product performance information can be obtained when using Anglia's Part Tracker service by clicking on the 'information icon' and is also included on Anglia's product labelling.

The table below explains the Moisture Sensitivity Level classifications.
