Hi Phil,

We build things for the aerospace and military market. So far we are
exempt but I'm sure that will change in the near future. In the mean
time we are stuck dealing with a dual system, component manufacturers
scrambling to supply lead free parts while we use leaded solder.

Ken,

Can I assume you do not send anything to Europe to Japan?  If you are
assembling parts to IPC-A-610, Class 3 that does not exempt you from
RoHS. 

Can't help you on the solderability info.

Phil

Subject: [TN] Nickel Lead Finish

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,

KennyB
