Subject: Re: OT: Soldering
This topic reminds me of a recent letter in Bob Pease's Electronic Design
column:

(It's the second letter)
Cheers,

I'd second that the Kester (SN96.5/AG3/CU.5) work fine for me. Only noticeble
differences are:
Slightly duller finished joint
Slightly higher MP
Much stronger joints than leaded solder (say 2X)
We've been doing Surface mount and through-hole RoHS compliant assembly for
more than a year now. There has been no problem at all with solder joints.
