Agreed about producing consumer products in the US. Wishful thinking on my part :-) Glad I am in the military/avionics end of electronics manufacturing. More interesting anyway. The SB3 is too young to judge potential lead-free solder reliability. See my previous post. Curious as to what reliability testing standard(s) you used when you switched to lead-free.
