ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENDUSER: Cost of Lead-Free Solder Materials
A
research report by the IPC Solder Products Value Council.
It is expected that tin-lead solder use will fall dramatically with the growing
implementation of lead-free soldering. Prices will likely rise dramatically for
what may be considered “marginal products” using tin-lead solder, thus
diminishing any perceived advantage of reduced lead-based solder costs for
those who have an exemption to the directives.
