Full Description

The predominant terminal finishes on electronic components have been Sn-Pb alloys. As the industry moves toward Pb-free components and assembly processes, the predominant terminal finish materials will be pure Sn and alloys of Sn, including Sn-Bi and Sn-Ag. Pure Sn and Sn-based alloy electrodeposits and solder-dipped finishes may grow tin whiskers, which could electrically short across component terminals or break off the component and degrade the performance of electrical or mechanical parts.
