      It's the lead in solder that allows it to work properly... lead free is quite brittle and doesn't like temp cycles... that's why lead solder can be used in militay and transport applications, but it's becoming a problem as it creeps into COTS. It also9 has a higher melt temp... so either your iron wont melt it or the higher temp might damage components. Go lead... SnPb.
