That may be why the lead free initiatives supposedly don't apply to military
hardware. Now obtaining parts with SnPb terminations is another thing, the
re-ballers are going to have a field day :)

Subject: [TN] USAF Airworthiness Advisory concerning Lead-Free solders...
Hi All!
I thought that some of you may be interested in a USAF Airworthiness
Advisory (AA-05-01)concerning the use of Lead-Free solders...especially if
you're building any hardware, or doing any repair or upgrades on any USAF
Aircraft (manned or unmanned).
This Advisory hasn't been flowed-down to us yet by any of our customers. It
was dated May 9, 2005, so that may explain why it hasn't yet reached
us...but I'm sure it will. I actually got this from one of the
engineers here who got this from an associate of his that works at NORDAM
here in Tulsa.
I've posted the *.PDF on my page at: http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com
look at USAFSolderAdv.PDF. The distribution is public, so I'm not posting
anything that's privileged.
But this is another example of what a debacle this transition to
"Lead-Free" has become...
Kind regards,
