Hello, Cd in electronics is forbidden for a long time already. Therefore, agilent will not use it in its DMM,especially in the newer units. I've tried to get Cd alloy also, but did not get any, obviously for the same reason. Frank

Getting cadmium alloy isn't as difficult as it seems. I've got an offer from a factory 20km away (http://www.chemet.de <blocked::blocked::http://www.chemet.de/>), that sells 18%-cadmium solder (S-Sn50Pb32Cd18 / DIN EN ISO 9453), but I have to order 1kg at a price of 70 Euro. Moreover, I'm not sure, if the Cd18 solder works, since all the sources recommend a 50% cadmium alloy. If there are appropriate alternatives (e.g. Pb90Sn10?), I'm going to avoid cadmium, of course.
