Yes, solderbility. I recall one case of a vendor we met at a past HK electronic fair. Pricing was ok, we selected them and ordered a batch of boards. After a few months of leaving the PCBs in a sealed package (vacuum), we attempted to use the PCBs. W

" so I wander what can I do to save them?" The boards or management? Seriously I think this is more of a management issue than a technical issue. We can suggest what to do but if management does not accept that solution then it won't work. I'm not s

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

Zinc from the brass [Cu3Zn2] diffuses into the tin causing solderability problems. Just 0.001% of Zn in your solder can render it fit for the scrap heap. So, you need a barrier plate between the brass and the tin. Copper or nickel-plating is commonl

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

do you see signs of contamination or oxidation? if not why not just send them to the board house and have another OSP coating layer applied?
