Possibly - see http://www.uksteel.org.uk/nw20.htm which puts typical

level of lead in steel used in certain auto steels at .25%.

Subject: [LF] Lead free connectors



It was recently brought to my attention (rumored) that connector

manufacturers are not able to meet the 0.1% lead content for standard

I/O

connectors because they have to use high lead content steel in the

forming

of the connector shells in industry standard I/O connectors such as

ubiquitous D-subs, MDR's etc.



Does this ring true?  If so does anyone have knowledge of how the

connector

manufacturers are planning on getting around this?



Thanks,
