I think Lead Solder is Ban in Europe since 2003 or around.
I remember the change, where I was not able to buy the old one. I remember that it had a slightly higher melt temperature.
Can you buy it in America?
- Kuinox 7y agoYes, the melt temperature is slightly higher, and i have difficulties to melt it with my old solderer.
- varjag 7y agoIt's not banned, it's restricted. There are still applications where it's allowed in manufacture, even in the EU. Prototyping/R&D is excepted as well.
- jdietrich 7y agoYou can still buy leaded solder in the EU. Lead is restricted in most consumer applications, but it's still perfectly legal in a lot of industrial products. https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MG-Chemicals/4884-227G?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuQDxh7mFZIafA0CFytvp0Pd%2F2cRJbJTcY%3D https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MG-Chemicals/4884-227G?q...
- cientifico 7y agoOk. When I said ban, I meant that back in the time, I went to the shop and they didn't sell it.
