"Dr. Ronald Lasky, Dartmouth professor of engineering and a frequent
blogger on solder, claims the transition to lead-free was a grand
success. “A lot of people claim that lead-free solder is not as reliable
as lead-based solder,” Lasky told me. “We’re now five years into the
implementation of RoHS, and we’ve made $3 trillion work of electronic.
We haven’t really noticed any big change in reliability.”"
