Abstract
The European Union and Japan initiated the issue of RoHS, the directive about the restriction of hazardous substances, which prohibits certain hazardous substances in electronic equipment - including lead - application. Due to the directive the use of lead free solder alloys is spreaded, however the Pb in the form of contamination may be appear under technological process. The lead impurity has significant effect on microstrucutre and lifetime so it is necessary to carry out detailed examinations. In this paper the study of intermetallic compounds in six-element, Pb impured, thermal cycles test-subjected, Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder alloy is demonstrated
