We were just notified by one of our capacitor manufacturers that they
were going lead free and their replacement finish will be nickel. These
are surface mount parts.

If my memory serves we had trouble soldering nickel leads some years ago
on some TO-5 parts.

We are a class 3 manufacturer and will continue to use lead in our
solder. Should we be concerned about the solderability of the nickel
lead finishes?

Thanks,
