Hi Vit! I'll steal Doug Paul's favorite answer "it depends"! (pretty soon
we are going to have to pay Doug royalties for that line - probably in
gallons of Mt. Dew per number of times used in a year). Seriously, the
majority of committee members on the JSTD-002 and 003 solderability
committees would agree that a adequately, correctly fabricated surface
finished component or printed wiring board should be solderable for a
minimum of 12 months. Now before I get covered in flame soot, I need to
quantify that statement. Long term storage of any finish is going to be
impacted by two processes: oxidation of the surface finish and diffusion of
the base finishes into the surface finish. A huge number of parameters
influence both of those processes - temperature, humidity, composition of
the ambient air, the original quality and thickness of the plating systems,
how the components/boards are handled and packaged prior to storage, etc,
etc. I have samples of components and board in the laboratory that are
approximately 10 years old and their solderability is as good as their
first day of storage. I also have seen the other extreme for
components/boards which fail solderability testing upon receipt from the
supplier. I recommend you team up with your component/board suppliers so
that both parties understand the solderability expectations and jointly
devise a strategy to reach those expectations in some form. Good Luck.

Hi Techneters,
Is somebody in this forum who can help us with advise? IPC advised there is
no standard covering this issue but some companies may have an internal
guidelines...???
When the electronic assembly product is made as a spare part how
many years it
can be on the shelf ( normal conditions 20 degsC 60-70 % RH) before
it
should be disposed and not used - sold to customer... ?
Thank you for help.
Best Regards to all

I received the TMA graph from Dupont from 25-200C. Draw two straight lines
below and over Tg (115).
The difference between the graph and the lines is negligible .
CTE 25-115C : 27ppm/C
CTE 115-200C: 47.2ppm/C
