Hello netters I was wondering if I could get some information about the status of the RoHS Directive. We have been hearing things like: Have 9 states already outlaw certain RoHS materials effective Jan 1, 2006? Due date of July 1 is being moved back for the auto industry; does anyone know where any document to substantiate this can be found? Lead free solder has problems with reliability: Tin whiskers. Proper filling of thru holes. Solder plating corrosion. Any expertise in this area would be greatly appreciated as I am hearing everyone is quite confused about the status of the RoHS Directive .
