Hi TechNetters, My company is starting to determine all the steps that will be necessary to convert to Lead-free status and I was just wondering how many of you have already done so or are in the process. How far along is everyone and when do you expect to be Lead-free? What have been the biggest obstacles? I'm particularly concerned about sole-sourced components (i.e. connectors) that can't withstand the higher oven temps and don't lend themselves to hand placement. Thank you, Paul Black Manufacturing Engineer Kronos E-mail: [log in to unmask] Voice: (978) 947-1520 --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
