Tin Whiskers are most common with Sn plating or unfused SnPb Plating. Reflow
of the SnPb or alloying of the Sn are the best options.
As i recall, plating stresses and temperature increase the number of SnPb
whiskers,.
with eutectic solder you shouldn't be seeing them unless you have some strange
environmental conditions ,

Subject: Tin Whisker
From: Tuan300859
Currently, I have observed some boards with Tin Whiskers growth. The
whiskers seem to grow from the Tin-lead pads(unusual). The phenomenon is
occurred at only one side of the QFP180 component on the board. Here are my
questions:
1. What is/are the root cause(s) of the Tin Whisker?
2. Are there experiments or tests that had been done?
3. If no to both questions above, Are there any literature that I can read
up to
help determine the root causes of the Whisker?
Thank you in advance
