A major manufacturer is eliminating lead from their caps and resistors
going to pure tin to comply with European standards. How will this affect
our operation which continues to use 63/37 lead based solder?  Are there
storage considerations?  Will this change effect the solder joints in a
detrimental way? Will these new lead free parts grow "tin wiskers" as I've
heard so much about?
