Abstract: A system and method for soldering flat flexible cable to an electronic substrate using lead-free solder is disclosed. The method comprises bending conductive end portions of the flat flexible cable and inserting the bent conductive end portions of the flat flexible cable through slots that extend through the thickness of the electronic substrate. In so doing, a segment of the conductive end portion will protrude through the thickness of the substrate. The method further comprises of heating the flat flexible cable to a temperature of approximately 100° C. and then applying the lead-free solder to the area where the end portion protrudes through the thickness of the substrate for a time period of approximately 5 to 9 seconds.
