[Elecraft] Use of Lead (Pb) free SMD Components...

[Thomas Miccolis]

   Beware of tin whiskers!

   Lead-free  generally  translates to "pure tin".  If you do not want to
   risk tin whisker growth then you should solder dip or re-tin the leads
   of such devices with eutectic solder.

   No.
   If  you're  used to SMDs with lead plating, though, you'll notice that
   it  takes  a  very small fraction of a second longer for the solder to
   flow onto lead-free parts.
