Why Switch to Lead Free Solder?
More and more solder joints in circuit boards and electronic products are changing to lead free solder, placing an emphasis on lead free solder joint reliability. Mandates in Europe such as WEEE & ROHS and similar mandates in Japan are driving this change. In the U.S., it is only a matter of time before electronic products will change over to lead free solder, so switching over to lead free solder before your competitors can give you a strong marketing edge.
