Regulatory issues: Difference between revisions

 

60/40 solder is still less costly than any of the more exotic solders being used, and although long term reliability is still a subject of much argument, 60/40 solder has a proven reliability track record going back to the 1920s. It is not unusual to find an 80 year old radio whose soldered joints are still solid, shiny, and functional. Since PCs and cellphones tend to have a much shorter usage, tin whiskering may not be an issue.
