Yesterday I received a copy of a presentation of CALCE's Electronics Products and Systems Center at the University of Maryland giving some results of their lead-free solder reliability study. I was startled at the results since I have been a lead-free basher. My company is CALCE member and the document is confidential and proprietary so I better not quote any of it. All I can offer is that other interested parties contact CALCE for membership and copies of the presentation. Legally, I can entertain no more questions about the contents.
