Hal,
63/37 will be around as long as there are manufacturers that want to use
it. Which will be a very long time.

Subject: [LF] Does anyone expect 63/37 Solder to disappear?
A general question (or more accurately fear) came up in a recent
discussion, and the scenario was as follows:
Even though an OEM company might be exempt from RoHS compliance
(specifically using lead free solder) most companies will have to
comply, so the marketplace will switch to predominantly SAC solder
assembly. This would reduce the number of contract assemblers and
solder suppliers who still offered "normal" tin lead solder assembly,
and we would face a defacto forced conversion to lead free.
In general, would you expect this "doomsday" scenario to come to pass?
Or will there still be enough markets allowing 63/37 type assembly that
if one chooses they could remain with our old favorite assembly method?
Thanks,
Hal
