Soldering unleaded components

[Graeme]

Hi All
Simple (maybe) question. I've got a tin/lead plated circuit board, and some
components which have plated leads without lead. Is it possible to make a
good solder joint between these two? If so, what sort of solder should be
used (leaded, unleaded)?
TIA.

for all electrical work you need to use *rosin* core solder...

it's ok to use the standard lead/tin solder

but silver solder should also be ok

I thank you both for your comments. Are there any web-based reports that
investigate this process?
