Ramon,
Immersion Tin is MUUUUUCH better in terms of whiskering.

John:
Just curious, what is the tin plating going to be used
on? Thin Tin plating produces whiskers, which can be a nightmare.
Thicker Tin plating helps as a whisker mitigating factor. These whiskers
have shot down a nuclear power plant and caused space craft failures.
Tin plating can very problematic. Whiskers can grow in days or take
years.

Ramon

John: Generally accepted goal is one micron, or 40 microinches,
thickness.
You essentially never have to worry about it being too thick, and
thickness of less than 75% of that value should raise eyebrows...

(IPC-4552) and Immersion Silver (IPC-4553), is there a similar

accepted specification for material thickness?
