Hi Rich! I recommend getting a copy of Lenora Tuscano/Don Cullen's paper
given at the IPC 2003 Fall meeting titled "The Study, Measurement, and
Prevention of Tarnish on Immersion Silver Board Finishes". The paper
documents that the "yellow" tarnish found on immersion silver pwbs used in
the study, using SERA and ESCA analytical techniques, can be silver
sulfide, is in the thickness range of 200-500 angstroms, and is still quite
solderable (lots of info in the paper - this is the reader's digest
version). As others in our TechNet community have discussed, the yellowing
can be a typical visual appearance. Good Luck.

We are seeing yellow discoloration of Immersion Silver Boards right out
of the package from our board house.  They seem to solder fine, however
this is causing some concern with our customer.  I suspect that it could
be a thin film of  silver bromide or silver carbonate both which are
yellow powders.

Any one seen this before?

What is it?

How does the board house remedy this situation?

Any associated concerns or other bits of wisdom?

I would truly appreciate any input.
