    That’s good.

    But I still don’t get why someone would willingly use lead when lead free works great.

    I mean the RoHA for example exist for good reason.

      Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.

      Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn’t form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.
