I was kind of suprised that there was only one private response to my post about this...I guess we all are sheep. Let's all of us jump off the cliff, and say in the end; "We did what we were supposed to..." Then live with it all...

AM Mornin' Everyone! Yesterday I had one of our test technicians come to me and ask if I knew of any good reference articles about the pro's and cons of Lead-free solders. He's doing a assignment in his college class about manufacturing processes. I first went on my rant about how mis-guided this whole thing is, and then told him that I was sure I could find him some good references. I did a search and found one that I had never seen before, and after reading it, I think it's the best one I've read. Go to: http://www.cepelec.com/iso_album/leadfreehmiller.pdf It's 53-pages, and very, very good!
