You are right Mark. Our company has tried to sell our leaded stock to
component dealers pretty unsuccessfully so far, but maybe a stronger need
for leaded components helps us clearing up our slow moving stock.
I know it may sound silly in a forum such as this but I can tell you one of
our customers who are designers of street lighting lamps with very high
luminance LEDs have found more than once difficult to find components in
e-Bay.
Please don't shoot, it was just a thought.

There are still a lot of pre ROHS components out there if you search for
them. Not a solution that will last for ever, but might get you buy for a
while.
There are also loads of firms that just can't throw out their non compliant
stock and are hoarding it. Many trading agents are starting to contact firms
looking for that stock, so more may flow onto the market for exempt work.

Hi Ed!
That's the issue, exemptions are empty gestures. It is rare that I can
still get parts with lead on them.

Hi, Bob!
Actually there are currently two categories that are exempt in Europe until
~2010: Category 8, Medical and Category 9, and high end Measurement &
Control equipment such as made by the likes of Agilent. Unfortunately, both
have to get their circuit components from the vendors that have mostly gone
lead-free.
Best regards,
Ed

I do not understand how CERN came to be exempt (if indeed it did) from
no-lead RoHS. How did they get an exemption? Scientific instrumentation is
not exempt from RoHS. I spent a good deal of my life in physics research and
I don't believe we ever got exemptions for any environmental regulations.
As you say, all the components they would use are today lead-free so even if
they wanted to not comply with RoHS, they would inadvertantly do so.
As for soldering down in the trench, there are warmer sections of the magnet
systems that are, I'm sure, soldered with conventional solder. The question
is, what kind?

You can be exempt, but unless you recognise there is a potential problem,
you would just use mainstream supplies.
Many technical parts of the LHC are sufficiently technical not to be
relevant, I doubt you connect superconducting wire with tin/lead solder.
But I would love to ask those concerned. I have not found a place to ask
that question.
