Isn't medical equipment exempted from European lead-free regulations (WEEE)? I sure hope so. I'd hate for medical equipment to fail from tin whisker growth. Come to think of it, I'd hate for any equipment to fail for that reason. Oh well, the customer will just buy a new unit to replace the failed one, and that's good for business, right? Right? If the customer complains, I'll just explain that the Europeans won't let us use the good solder anymore. Do you think that will make them feel better and give them that warm fuzzy feeling as they reach for their wallet?
