     Dear Technetters,

     Resistor and Capacitor components in surface-mount version use Pb in
     the conductor paste ( e.g. Pb-enamel in AgPd-paste for multilayer
     capacitors).
     Will these components, due to the Pb in the enamel-conductorpaste, be
     affected by the Lead ban ?
     I didn't see any exception for the use of Pb-containing paste in
     WEEE2-draft. (For Pb in picture tubes and light-applications
     exceptions are made.)
     Does this mean that all other use of Pb (or Pb-oxydes) will be
     prohibited, even when this is used in small quantities as in
     chip-resistors or capacitors ?

     PS: Does it also affect the decorative glass industry (crystal) ? That
     would mean the end of this industry.
