You're right that us in the automotive market are exempt, but that just delays the inevitable by two or three years. Our customers, especially Japanese, are pushing us to provide Pb free products in the '08/'09 timeframe so that the end customers ge

Greetings from Mexico I can see several good opinions about the "real" need to chnage to Lead-Free processes, but at the end and trying to be real, is there any good path we could follow to stop this process? I can see a lot of work, investment in eq

Hi, I don't know if I'm being naive, but I'm seeing a number of 3 zone (+1 cooling) ovens on the market that claim to be for Lead Free soldering. Trying to follow component & solder manufacturers ideal profile can be tricky with 7 zones at times so
