Lead-Free Desktop Board 
This desktop board is lead-free although certain discrete components used on the 
board contain a small amount of lead which is necessary for component performance 
and/or reliability.  This desktop board is referred to as “Lead-free second level 
interconnect.”  The board substrate and the solder connections from the board to the 
components (second-level connections) are all lead-free.  
Table 16 shows the various 
forms of the “Lead-Free 2
nd
 Level Interconnect” mark as it appears on the board and 
accompanying collateral.
