Correct. It is a normal reaction of CAF simply because CAF usually is created between a relatively high difference of potential. You do not usually see CAF on a signal line, more typically a power junction. But whatever the case, when the short forms, there is typically an exothermic reaction as part of the heat cycle.

Yes it can. I say that that is normal.

Fellow TechNetters:

   Can a CAF in the laminate between a signal pin and ground cause an exothermic event?

Victor,
