Lead Free SMD Components?

[Mark, KJ7BS]

I was shopping Mouser for components for a project.  I noticed the SMD devices I need are "Lead Free".  Will I have any trouble soldering these components with Tin/Lead solder?

No.

If you're used to SMDs with lead plating, though, you'll notice that it
takes a very small fraction of a second longer for the solder to flow
onto lead-free parts.
