Does someone with technical knowledge knows what exactly happend with the solder paste after the shelf life pass? What we have seen is sometimes flux separation which disapear after a good mix, and change of viscosity i.e. drying. The tin, silver and

Enig have been one of the industries leading finishes with great solderabilty and shelf life, And now Immersion Silver is starting to get popular.

Greetings from the UK: I have been quite fortunate to lead (no pun intended) our company towards lead free sooner rater than later. One of our customers produces a product which is refurbushed every 6 months or so and sent back into the market. A

I am going to be using large numbers of silver immersion PCB's for assembly. I am concerned about long term storage ( shelf life )and handling prior to placement/assembly. The recommended 'shelf life' appears to be 6 months but obviously this will

Russ, We also use 'immersion silver' and have not had any impact on our processes. In fact there are a number of benefits i.e very flat pads (as good as electroless nickel/immersion gold but much cheaper and less unfriendly to the environment), good

Would you be interested in a chemical free flexible packaging (bag) that extends the useful shelf-life of fabricated pc boards and surface finishes for that year or more? Let me know, and I'll get you all the technical details. Sincerely, Dave S

immersion silver has become my favorite finish for lead free. Seems toi have good shelf life is stored in the silversaver paper. and reflows real well. Russ

Has anyone come across a standard or study (JEDEC, IPC) where it has the recommended shelf life outside of a dry box for immersion silver coated PCB's to prevent oxidation from affecting the soldering process (Both reflow and Wave). I know it will
