Hi J-P, Joe, Werner, ALL, IPC LF Listservers,

I have to read all your notes, yet in support of LF failures Tin Whiskers
has been reported as a real failure mechanism that is unique to Pb-free.
By that I mean we have more than just accelerated failures or modelling
failures.

One published failure is in space via NASA and another, I and we know of,
is in a  Nuclear Reactor facility in CT. I called them once or twice, yet
still have to do some more follow up.  If anyone else has done this please
Share.

We also should expect SnCu failures with P-I-Hole components, as well as
some chip capacitor end cap failures.

I do agree that hard published data is going to take some time to work
it's way to the public domain so that everyone will have some references.




Yours in Engineering, Dave
