Hi IPC-LeadFree Listserve, In a recent article that WernerE pointed to in the ATC topic tread it was noted by the Cookson author via quoting that certain equipment will be exempt from LeadFree LF implementation. It seems to list all telecommunications equipment(networking); as well as servers, and storage equipment. How about Fiber Optic, Optoelectronics? Any comments?? http://circuitsassembly.com/pdf/0307/0307cookson.pdf YiEngr, MA/NY DDave -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Leadfee Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Leadfree To temporarily stop delivery of Leadree for vacation breaks send: SET Leadfree NOMAIL Search previous postings at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
