PbF policy China and USA ?
Line 6 Spider 3 amp with RoHS and PbF markings all over, date only 2008, no
abusive use/speaker/lead problem. The boards are obviously PbF , white deposit as though been in a damp shed for 10 years. That is except for the interboard ribbon soldering. Boards populated and soldered in China with PbF solder and assembled in USA with leaded-solder or 2 flavours of PbF solder, one goes white easily and the other stays shiney? TDA7293 failed , going by burnt off lacquer on the minor trace between power - supply and signal - supply , then failure in signal half of the amp. Final failure was sub-ohm connection between +,- and output pin and about 40 ohm to ground. If there had been intermittant contact to a pin due to PBf , could that knock out a hybrid? Tugging on dropper Rs etc has not shown any so-elucidated poor joints on the rest of the board and no PbF part-ring cracks seen. |
