First, consider checking the fine SMTnet Archives. Look for threads on "white tin", in addition to "immersion tin". We�ve had a cuppla good ones of late. Merix [http://www.merix.com] gives a good comparison of different solderability preservatives

Hi everyone: Our company is trying out immersion white tin for fine pitch assembly with what I would call mixed results. Reflow solder looks very good, but wave solder looks somewhat grainy (this may not be a problem in actuality). We had dewettin

Hi, I made a board wich I plated with immersion Tin, I tought it should be the same result as we had with tin lead but we ran into a weird problem. WE use a 63/37 no clean paste and on the Board with Immersion Tin the solder just make a ball ON

Keep in mind that you may need to assure that there are no pure tin finishes remaining on your parts. A general idea is that parts with pure tin (RoHs) finish will need to be plated with tin-lead solder to avoid the possibility of tin whiskers formi

We just went through a difficult time processing SMT immersion white tins PCA's and found the following: 1. FAB vendor had a degraded tin solution resulting in improper plating thickness 2. FAB vendor was not using the proper cleaning process Get

1. Spec references for max allowable untinned gold near glass seal and case body? 2. Low cost mechanical dip system to facilitate tinning of DIP parts. (Low volume; currently using hand solder iron techniques to allow for max coverage without bridg

What are the primary indium (In) / tin (Sn) intermetallic compounds (IMC)? What are the drivers to the formation of In/Sn IMC? Copper / tin IMC are very bittle and, while necessary for proper solder connection formtion, are ment to be minimized. W

I am looking for info. (pro and con) and/or 1st hand knowledge processing PCB's with Immersion Tin finish through SMT and Wave. Do profiles need to be different? Solderpaste considerations? Anything else? In the past I have experienced selective non

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
