Hello Francis.
Out of interest, do you know the composition of the lead finish?
Instead of the normal Sn-bearing finishes, might it be a Ni-Pd-type,
in which case its brightness characteristics will be markedly
duller to the finish you may normally use?
Good luck...Norm.

Hi Technet,
Our placement machine is rejecting a reel of SOT component,
According to our SMT engineer, the reason is because the legs are not
"shiny enough, the coating is dull ".
Are there specifications on the brightness/dullness of the coating on the
legs of components?
Where can I find industry specification publications?
Any input is appreciated.
TIA
