You are referring of course to the archived articles at the end of the page
on Lead Free components and RoHS. Good articles too... very informative.

I have used Electronic Source for years and didn't know they were publishing
articles until recently... so it was a discovery for me as well.

Regarding your comment on the race... It's not really a race to the
finish... but rather an endurance race I think...The path is not clear, the
obstacles are unknown... and the race does not always go to the swiftest
one...but rather to the one who makes the correct choice with the least
warning... I think that takes study of the issues and thought regarding the
sensibility of the direction the 'herd' is being led to... After all we are
not lemmings.... are we? If we use our good sense... we can both protect the
environment and make a reliable product... but rushing to meet a deadline
will most certainly cause people to not be thorough in their steps or
decisions...which can be very costly. Like the scare of 2000 we may find
that it is more 'scare' than real threat... we shall see.

Subject: RE: [TN] Strange Capacitor

Hi Bill,

seems as you get into a mess whatever your policy is. When the steam engine
was invented, not all people were happy. Same when first cotton harvesting
machines came, or automatic this and  that. News are oftenly seen as
antinews. I can see that some take the leading initiative immediately, som
struggle against, and most are just ambivalent and don't do anything.
Ourselves, we have been preparing leadfree for years, and leadfree is slowly
adopted and used in many products. At the same time, we try, like in a
10,000 m race, to get a glimpse of what happens with those leading the race
and what's going on behind. Will the field spread, or will we all cross the
line within seconds? Will some give up halfways, and some be exhausted with
just one round left?

I have given the articles to our tech responsible. He got no time to read
pounds of papers and endless rumination. Many thanks, Bill, best
concentration of lead(free)news I've seen for a long time.

Hi All!

I was sent an image of a rather unusual capacitor from a Technetter, Larry
Russell, who is over in Taiwan. Take a look at "Capacitor" on my page at:

I hope I don't ever see one of these!
