    One of these chameleons was my former pet, the other was a fake model.  Interestingly, they are the same if you only ask certain questions about them.

     

     

    ·          Is it green?

     

     

    ·          Is it a lizard?

     

     

    ·          Does it have four legs?

     

     

     

    The difference becomes apparent when you start asking the right questions

     

     

    • Does it change color?

       

    • What does it eat?

       

    • Is it alive?

       

     

     

     

    You must also ask the proper questions regarding halogen-free ball attach fluxes and flip-chip fluxes.

     

     

    • How is it tested?

       

    • What is the ppm level of Br, Cl, F?

       

    • Does the material pass per j-std-709?

       

     

     

     

    Make sure your getting the “Real Green”.
