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

Hi All, I have some question about expired solder paste. What would be some of the effects regarding assembly quality. Is there any changes in flux composition toward the end of shelf life? Thanks in advance for any replies.

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

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

I have Ag & ENIG finishes, for Ag I've seen some oxidation, specially if the bag is not sealed propperly. Is there any real due date for PCBs?

Hi, can someone give definition on pot life? does the pot life start once it's been taken out from fridge or the pot life starts once recommended thawing ends?

If solderability is the only concern, then there is no standard time. Multiple factors involving OSP thickness, Flux activation levels, profile parameters, storage environment will drive the problem. You just need to perform tests to determine your m

With regards to PCB surface finish I would recommend Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) because of the long shelf life, tarnish resistance, RoHS-compliance, and easy soldering compared to other surface finishes. http://www.surfacemountprocess.

I have a MS level 3 component that has been on the shelf for 7 years. Should it be baked before usage. The HIC card reads ok- and it was stored with desiccant. History of the part is unknown, was purchased from franchised distribution.
