Solder for electronics manufacturing <i>was</i> all lead-based. Now, with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive" rel="nofollow">RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances)</a> and other directives, legislation, and market pressures, manufacturers have largely moved to lead-free solder. Much of this lead-free solder contains silver, although at lower concentrations (2.5-3.5%) than the traditional &quot;silver solder&quot; (30%+).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
