Immersion plating appears like electroless, sorta, but is different chemically. Plating is converting metal ions in solution to metal on the board. Those metal ions are "converted" by adding electrons to them. The source of these electrons defines

Your customer is being smart. When we look at the evaluation that some component suppliers do in assessing the potential of the pure tin solderability protection they've chosen to produce tin whiskers, we just shake our heads. Essentally they say,

A few weeks back we experienced a wave process problem where we received deposits on our pcb. At first we though it was dedrites but after an outside analysis of the deposits they were found to be tin. We have tried to remove the deposits with brus

We are trying to produce a PC Card bus assembly with a 672 pin BGA on one side. These pcb's are .015 thick. I believe the ball pitch is .5mm. The pcb's are plated with white tin. The pcb's are in a 1 X 3 array. We had 2 plates with appropriate cutout

I have observed the same thing with solder composition in this case I am using 63/37 NC which is giving good results usualy. The liquid tin, product from MG Chemical that I used is to tinplates copper circuit on PC boards. I tried on few relays, it
