Has anyone had any experience with using this alternative plating process? Some board houses are pushing toward this plating. Is there any long term data on this process? Any problems experienced with smt and thru-hole? I've heard tin whiskers to be

4% of the alloy), there is a ternerary phase (not sure if i spelled that right) where the melting point of the alloy is MUCH less than, say, SAC305's. Sn-Bi has also been associated with...... none other than Tin Whiskers. There are some in the in

Here's a link to another analogy "get used to tin whiskers" http://www.reed-electronics.com/semiconductor/article/CA6332135?spacedesc=ne

Great, just what we need - Psuedo science. To paraphrase: We tried 99.5Sn/0.5Cu & it didn't work so we couldn't be bothered to try any other lead free alloy. So give us an exemption else we'll bury you up to the neck in the stuff. I have no probl

Hi Patrick, Sorry, wrote it in a hurry on Friday afternoon, I meant show us evidence of a scientific trial on all or at least some other alloys. I accept Tin whiskers and other similar phenomina exist, I even accept that the whole ROHS directive

Slain, A melting point of 300C would be a little too high for the components and tinny boards. I just heard they will market the watches as Swiss "army" watches which makes them exempt.

Rob, I assume the exempt request is written by the legal department not by the technical department and translated from German to English. Please tell me what evidence you are looking for and I will see what I can do.
