The Finish will be backward compatible with Pb containing solders. Conversely, the current product with SnPb Lead Finish can be used with Pb Free solders. A slight Pb contamination of the solder joint from Pb migration out of the Lead plating may result but should not harm the joint. Soldering profiles may need to be adjusted slightly depending on the many design and usage variables.
