the underground market is already alive and well
some of the equipment I work with has to work at temperatures between -10 and well over +100 deg C while suffering quite heavy vibration, I found out the hard way about the dry joints with lead free solder on cold winter mornings. we started to find that on cold mornings our winches were breaking the soldered connections on the windings when we started operating them while our older winches which were soldered with lead based carried on working regardless, it took a while to work out the cause, It would appear that lead-free is a little more brittle at low temps

The alloy makeup is there in the description - Sn is the elemental symbol for tin, Pb for lead.

Product description says ROHS compliant. Looking up the part number on the kester website indicates it it is Lead free.
