Hi,

Some of our suppliers are giving notices that they will no longer ship their components with lead, and have given us a date of when this will happen. My question is how does the lead free components solder with 63/37 solder? What changes will we have to make with lead free components? Can you run with mixed components?

What's the word about lead free, when does everyone think we will have to go 100% lead free in the United States?

Thanks,

Jim
