You may also want to contact Terry Munson at Foresite - he is very knowledgeable about the root causes of dendritic growth - you can reach him at 765-457-8095 - he can more than likely provide you with some good advice. Sara

Thanks by the information provided for you. How can we prevent the Dendritic Growth, exist some table where i can see the quantity of flux that i can apply to the PCB. Thank You.

Yes dendrites can cause electrical shorts. The first stage of dendritic growth is a dark fern like pattern which reduce surface insulation between anode and cathode. In a more advanced stage the ferns transfer the plating metals of the conductors and

| We're getting field failures in a high impedance portion of the circuit. Think the unpopulated pc card has contaminates because we were able to grow dendrites by applying a 9 volt battery across the suspected pad, placed a drop of de-ionized water

Dendrite growth is not typically associated with a flux reation but rather is a result of mechanical stress. The stress can be from any source including stress induced by other components, environment, plating or even bimetallics. Dendrites are most

Tony, Conformal coating will protect the board from outside moisture but will also encapsulate Ionics and moisture when present on the board.

Hi All, Thanks for your inputs...I really appreciate it!! Rgds, Sean

any evidence of dendritic growth?? (cause of the presence of condensed water due to high humidity level)

You're right on both accounts. Thanks for straightening things out.
