Need to know the metallurgy.  What is the lead plating spec, and what alloy are you soldering with?  Note that ENEPIG is incompatible with SnPb solder.

Are these virgin parts?
Are the leg to pad joints 'good'?

Subject: [TN] QFP short at top of the leads

Has anyone ever seen a QFP where shorts occur after soldering at the top
of the leads?
And the leads look pretty dull after soldering.  Any ideas?
