do you intend to use Immersion tin as a PCB surface finish ? Then Whisker concern is as below if you do not past your test pads, the pads will be stressed when probed on a ICT or a flying probe tester. This is a POTENTIAL for whiskers There is a lo

1)What is the difference between Bright and Matte Tin? 2)How do you perform Tin Whisker Test?

OK, I feel the need to jump in here. Bright Tin has the tendency to easily whisker, and is almost never used, except on some through-hole connectors, I believe. Matte Tin is much less susceptible to whiskering, although under the right stress cond

during my researches for LF transition, a question being asked is -- why even consider immersion tin if it whiskers. does it really matter?, because during reflow, the Sn dissolves in the SAC solder alloy and does not exist in a "Sn whisker" formabl

What is the most popular PCB finish for lead-free soldering ? We are using ENIG and trying out Paladium-Silver. Are tin whiskers an issue for anyone ? tin whiskering becomes a big issue if you have any military company as your client. They still p

Hi, I have a very basic question for tin whisker testing. Do I thermal cycle/age the Components only or solder them to a ckt board and then thermal cycle/age the PCB assembly??

Nah, couldn't have been a tin whisker, we keep getting told they're a myth, & we're getting excited over nothing. A bit like the loch Ness monster or sunshine in the UK.

Anyone think that this, http://img336.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nodule27wc.jpg, is a nodule which will eventually grow into a tin whisker? Observe the plating on the component lead. Thanks in advanced for opinions.
