Re: lead free solder again

Hello Ian,


I saw some pictures of those "tin whiskers", and I didn't know the
problem was so great.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_whiskers

So... is Airbus required to go for lead-free solder too, for RoHS and
all that...?

Hoo-boy... if so, wouldn't want to fly on any Airbus aircraft built
after 2006, then...

Military, medical & aerospace were the first exemptions granted - even the brain-dead arseholes who passed this crap know how dangerous lead free solder is!!!


Err, if the 2nd sentence under the last table in this link still holds true Michael might have a point:
