FYI

They (purchasing) did not believe the solderability testing so they had us
build up boards anyway.  When the boards passed test they said there was no
problem with the boards.

We all know this is not accurrate, because if you put enough solder down you
can mask off just about any dewetting problem out there.

Believe me I have already pondered the worse case senerio!

Kathy,

Why would you be concerned with 'long term solderability' issues when you
have this initial solderability condition to deal with? Seems to me the
argument should be the 'here and now', and not the 'what if'.

All I know about reliability studies are those I have first hand experience
with, and that being as I wrote above, if they fail from the beginning, they
will not get any better sitting on a shelf.

<smile> Something to ponder.
