Therein lies the issue. Unknown storage conditions before we received the PCBs, date codes just expired (2 weeks), first article is de-lam city! Had a bad feeling about it. Have read some studies showing that there is no linear tie in of visual cha

Hege: Sounds like this customer is a putz. Ask the putz to sign a release, acknowledging responsibility. Here's a couple more links on imm silver: * http://www.pcbdesignschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/the-study-measurement-and-prevention-of-t

We had one product that used immersion silver plating. There were a couple of instances where we saw tarnishing, and elemental analysis confirmed the presence of sulfur. These boards did have the anti-tarnish sheets between boards, but somehow they

What type of reflow profile are you using ? There is a void reduction profile recommeded by some paste manufacturers, Try that it might help. Did you check the components or the board and see if they have absorbed mositure ? try baking the boards and
