Industry Response to RoHS

The electronics industry continues to respond to the pressures of environmental legislation. The use of Pb-free solder continues to rise, with current Pb-free levels projected to increase to 90% of all solder by 2011. This evolution is being driven by the transition to Pb-free assemblies in non-consumer markets, such as telecom, high-end servers, automotive and medical.
