Is there any U.S. legislation pending on restricting or banning the use of lead containing electronic solders?
No. Legislative bills introduced in Congress in the early 1990’s commonly known as the Reid, Cardin and Bradley bills died in Congress and never became law. There is no U.S. legislation presently on the horizon pertaining to lead containing solders. Most of the focus presently on eliminating lead in electronic solders is from European community countries and Japan.
