Lead Free PCB Assembly

Lead Free, RoHS & REACH compliance support for PCB assemblies.

Micron helps OEM teams build lead free SMT, Through Hole, mixed-technology, and box build assemblies with practical materials review, supplier documentation, traceability options, and compliance-focused manufacturing support from Norwood, Massachusetts.

Lead Free SMT & Through Hole RoHS / REACH documentation support IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 Class 2/3

Lead free and RoHS compliance is not just a solder choice. It affects component selection, BOM review, supplier declarations, build controls, documentation, and how a finished assembly is released. Micron helps make those requirements practical for OEM teams that need reliable product and usable records.

Overview

Practical RoHS and REACH support built into the manufacturing plan.

Regulations and customer requirements around restricted substances have changed the way electronic products are specified, documented, and released. Micron helps customers connect those requirements to the real work of building PCB assemblies: reviewing the BOM, identifying risks, selecting the right solder and process approach, and defining the documentation package before production begins.

For customers selling into global markets or regulated supply chains, Micron can support lead free PCB assembly, RoHS-conscious material review, REACH-related supplier documentation where available, and traceability options that align with the customer’s quality system.

What this page is designed to help with

  • Lead free SMT and Through Hole assembly requirements.
  • RoHS and REACH status questions during RFQ and BOM review.
  • Assembly-level documentation, supplier declarations, and CoC support.
  • Legacy programs that may need leaded and lead free versions controlled separately.

Important note

Micron provides manufacturing, documentation, and supply-chain support. Final product compliance, regulatory interpretation, exemptions, declarations of conformity, and market-specific legal requirements should be confirmed by the customer’s compliance or regulatory team.

Lead Free Capabilities

Lead free assembly support across the full build path.

Micron supports customers who need both compliance-minded manufacturing and repeatable build quality. The goal is to reduce uncertainty before assembly starts and deliver product with the documentation expectations defined up front.

SMT

Lead Free SMT Assembly

RoHS-compliant solder options, controlled paste deposition, reflow profiling, AOI, X-ray support, and process review for fine-pitch SMT assemblies.

TH

Lead Free Through Hole

Through Hole and mixed-technology builds with process planning for lead free soldering, inspection, cleaning, and customer-specific workmanship expectations.

BOM

BOM Scrub & Risk Review

Manufacturer part number review, RoHS / REACH status checks where available, alternates discussion, and sourcing risk identification before the quote is finalized.

DOC

Compliance Documentation

Assembly-level RoHS statements, supplier declarations, certificates, and documentation packets scoped to the customer’s program and quality expectations.

TRACE

Traceability Options

Lot, traveler, work order, serialization, and inspection record options can be aligned to program risk, customer requirements, and budget.

MIX

Leaded & Lead Free Control

Legacy and new program requirements can be handled with controlled part numbers, travelers, material flows, and customer-approved build instructions.

Documentation & Data

RoHS and REACH records should be part of the build, not an afterthought.

RoHS and REACH are data-driven requirements. A useful documentation package starts with clear scope: which assemblies, which revisions, which regions or customer requirements, what supplier data is available, and what Micron should deliver at release.

Documentation Micron can help organize

  • Assembly-level RoHS statements per build or program.
  • Supplier declarations and certificates where available.
  • Critical-component status review for RoHS and REACH questions.
  • Traveler, work order, inspection, and release data tied to the build.
  • Documentation scope aligned to your QMS, customer template, or program requirement.

What helps us quote faster

  • BOM with manufacturer part numbers, approved alternates, and revision level.
  • Gerbers or ODB++, pick-and-place data, assembly drawings, and test requirements.
  • Target markets, customer compliance language, and any required declaration format.
  • Known exemptions, legacy material requirements, or leaded-to-lead-free transition notes.

Industries We Support

Compliance-conscious electronics for demanding OEM programs.

Micron’s lead free RoHS and REACH support is especially valuable for customers that need reliable assemblies and clear records for downstream quality, regulatory, or customer review.

Industrial & Controls

Lead free assemblies for HVAC, energy, automation, monitoring, and control platforms shipping into broader commercial and global markets.

Medical & Lab Instrumentation

Documentation discipline and traceability options for instruments, diagnostics support equipment, and lab systems with customer-specific quality expectations.

Test & Measurement

High-mix boards, fixtures, and instruments that require revision control, stable sourcing, and records that support repeatable production.

Aerospace & Defense Suppliers

Controlled build documentation for programs where material status, configuration control, and customer requirements must be reviewed carefully.

Specialized Commercial

Security, building systems, specialty electronics, and OEM products that need RoHS-conscious assembly and practical compliance support.

Legacy Product Transitions

Programs moving from SnPb to lead free, maintaining parallel versions, or reviewing older BOMs for new market requirements.

Process

How a compliance-sensitive build flows.

Clean RoHS and REACH support starts before the first board is assembled. Micron uses the quote and intake process to align materials, documentation, solder requirements, and release expectations.

Intake & Requirements

We review the BOM, CAD/Gerbers, target markets, customer compliance language, documentation needs, and whether the build should be leaded, lead free, or both.

BOM Scrub & Plan

We identify missing manufacturer data, supplier documentation gaps, non-compliant or unknown parts, alternates, sourcing risks, and the best path for documentation.

Lead Free Build

Micron builds the assembly using the agreed solder process, workmanship expectations, inspection requirements, test plan, and controlled traveler instructions.

Inspection & Records

AOI, X-ray, visual inspection, test, work order data, lot information, and other records are captured according to the program scope.

Documentation Pack

Micron prepares the agreed RoHS, supplier, certificate, or traceability information so the release package matches your customer and quality requirements.

Repeat Build Control

For recurring work, revision control, approved alternates, material status, and documentation scope can be maintained to support future releases.

FAQ

Lead Free, RoHS & REACH questions.

Can Micron build both leaded and lead free versions of the same assembly?
Yes. Micron can support programs where legacy and lead free versions need to be controlled separately with distinct part numbers, travelers, material flows, and customer-approved work instructions.
What do you need to scope RoHS and REACH documentation?
A BOM with manufacturer part numbers and alternates, target markets or customer requirements, the applicable assembly revision, and any internal or customer declaration templates are the most helpful starting points.
Do you provide assembly-level RoHS statements?
Yes, Micron can provide assembly-level RoHS statements when that scope is defined during quoting. Language and supporting records can be aligned to the customer’s quality system and documentation expectations.
How do you handle REACH SVHC concerns?
Micron can help request and organize REACH-related supplier statements where available, flag unknowns or risks during BOM review, and identify where the customer may need to make a final regulatory determination.
Are all Micron builds lead free?
No. Some customers still require SnPb or leaded processes for legacy, exempt, or customer-specific applications. Micron reviews the program requirements and controls the process path accordingly.
Can Micron help transition a legacy product to lead free?
Yes. A transition usually starts with BOM review, solder/process review, component availability, customer approvals, documentation expectations, and test or inspection changes needed to qualify the new version.
