Hello netters
 
I was wondering if I could get some information about the status of the
RoHS Directive.  
 
We have been hearing things like:

        Have 9 states already outlaw certain RoHS materials effective
Jan 1, 2006?
        Due date of July 1 is being moved back for the auto industry;
does anyone know where any document to substantiate this can be found?
        Lead free solder has problems with reliability:
            Tin whiskers.
            Proper filling of thru holes.
            Solder plating corrosion.

 
Any expertise in this area would be greatly appreciated as I am hearing
everyone is quite confused about the status of the RoHS Directive .
 
 
 

Thank You
