Hi Wee Mei,

I just want to apologize for not getting this posted sooner. I first saw
your message on my phone and then got distracted by a bunch of other
things and just forgot about getting your photos posted until you asked
me about them.

I have them posted now:

Is this a ceramic part? It looks like to me that some of the part
encapsulate bled out beneath the lead shoulder and the lead did not get
plated.

Steve,

I was looking at a batch of lead-formed part and noticed oxidisation or
whatever you call them at the junction of the leads and component body.
This oxidisation is only found at the bottom side of the component. I
look at the raw part (before the leads are form) and found some of them
having the same issue. I need your assistance to post this file for the
following advices.

1) If this is not oxidisation, what is the correct term for it?
2) How serious is this "oxidisation" as the parts are used in mission
critical operation.
3) What is the cause of such "oxidisation"?

Regards,
~wee mei~
