If I may ask, why use the lead-free solder? In a manufacturing environment is one thing, but from what I understand for hand piece work, it's nothing but trouble... more difficult to achieve a good joint and the higher temperature needed is tougher on equipment, board, and components.
Just curious for your perspective on this... I know you guys are the experts. :-)

Kind regards and much appreciation,

Hi Burkhard,

answer is simple: my decades old solder depot ran empty and officially there is only lead-free solder to buy here. So I give it a try.

In the end I am pretty satisfied with a SnAgCu mixture. Fortunately no need for higher temperatures.

Best regards,

Werner
