To make things worse, sometimes they (the component companies) do not know what the actual finish is. I mean they think it complies with the spec, but...... It sounds "strange" but it happens.

Subject: Re: [TN] Components Suppliers who are using Tin Finishes

Oh Steve if only it was that easy!

From what we've found the component manufacturers have not done a great job
documenting what finishes have been used on what components. To exacerbate
the problem a lot of your components come from suppliers that really don't
keep track of trivial things like lead finish.

We are really struggling with this same thing. The manufacturers are getting
better at documenting what sort of finish is on their components but it's
not universal.

I hope others on this list have better news. There really needs to be an
industry standard as we transition away from solders containing lead. Some
sort of an part number indicator like P/N 123B35K-SN or 123B35K-PB/SN or ...

Good luck,

Ken Bloomquist

Subject: [TN] Components Suppliers who are using Tin Finishes


Hi All!

Does anybody know of a listing somewhere that shows what finishes component
suppliers are using? Or does one have to just call and ask each one?

Appreciate any information...
