Bev,

The way things are going my guess is anything less than 200 hours is Just-In-Time-Solderability.

Technetters,

As if we didn't have enough problems with really, really old parts; part numbers; moisture sensitivity; a few instances of stupid finishes as suppliers go lead free; but now I have a new one - for me anyways. We have received virgin parts where the label on the bag says they only have a SOLDERABILITY LIFETIME of 168 hours after they are taken out of the bag! This is not a case where one can recover them by putting them in an oven afterwards! Anyone else seeing this new pain-in-the-neck development?

regards,

Bev Christian
