Within a whisker of failure


About time too.

Never mind the reduced reliability (see the ERA study) caused by lead-free
solder when equipment is exposed to vibration.



Before I waste time downloading an irrelevant pdf

would this be what you be referring to :

Review of Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) Categories 8 and 9 - Final

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/wast...nal_report.pdf

Results of vibration testing lead-free solder from different researchers ...


Not sure if that's the one I had to be honest but looks interesting.
