In addition to your concerns about leaching, why aren't you concerned about: * Tin whiskers * Total absence of in use reliability information about no-lead, especially given that creep is significantly different between SnPb and no-leads. While they

If the terminations on your components are not barrier plated, you must be very careful about the amount of time you stay above liquidous. As you'd expect, longer is not better. The longer you stay at liquidous, the more of the component terminatio

We are concerned about the issues you mentioned and more, however we have no option but to change over due to legislation. A high percentage of our market share is in Europe and Japan, who of course have already embraced the no-lead change. We simply

Hi Adonys, What's ICP 1-3? Do you mean IPC? 1. Excess Plating- no excess, but filled with something which generated in the process of copper plating. 2. Dark Vias - it's oxidized. and the solder mask printing is not aligned. The board is failed. M

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

Are there any standard qualification/acceptance requirements for immersion tin board finish? J-STD-003 calls out temp/humidity preconditioning followed by solderability testing which is similar to what we have in our (ancient) internal documents. O

One of our divisions is having this problem: - De-wetting on the smt pads and componenent termination on the bottom side after top side procssed through reflow. Board finish is immersion silver. ? Any recommendation on what we should check & verify

Hi Murad, like with many other questions it�s hard to judge without seeing the effect. Assuming that this site you�re talking about is well equiped with knowledge and that they handle their processes normally to everybody�s satisfaction it�s obvious

Has anyone ever encountered contaminants from the immersion silver process, whether it be from the board house or not...as it relates to conformal coating. The failure mode is severe de-wetting of acrylic conformal coating. All over solver resist, to
