Unforunately, the only one who can give you that answer is the manufacturer. They are the only ones who know what is in their paste and how it reacts to different situations and conditions.

Hi We currently use a small amount of Alloy : 43Sn 43Pb 14Bi Flux: RMA-51AC, Metal : 88.5%. We use it for reworking a product and only consume about 100g per year, we are in the middle or ordering in some more paste but the MOQ is 500g. Is it possibl

What's the issue? Solderability or performance of the component

Most of the component vendors I've dealt with will guarantee the solderability of the terminations for three years if the components are still packaged in a full reel. If the reel is part used we've kept them for 1 year and then used a wetting balanc

Tantalum caps degrade over time. You should not be seeing "chipped-off & cracks" regardless of the age. This should not be a shelf-life issue, unless you are storing them in an aquarium. Tell us the story. Solderability is a shelf-life issue and

simpel answer is yes it will need to be baked, the typical shelf life for a sealed component assuming it has been sealed would be a max of 2 years but some are shorter. The bugger problem with the device may well be solderability of the device!

What are other testing/process step that we should do if we where to use the old date code QFPs other than solderability and baking ? What is the plating composition normally %? lead, % tin etc. I have my policy not to accept the more than 12 mont

You may struggle finding the information that you seek, because there is so much variability in the design and fabrication of boards. * What is the purpose of such a test? * What product type sees such an use environment? Consider using the guidelin

Why scrap paste if there is no degradation of performance? Do your own study to determine this.
