Sokkhon, Paul, others,
Well the supplier's spec sheets AND the label on the bag say the same thing - solderability time limit. This is from one of the largest off-shore electronics manufacturers in the world. Is there still a chance they are completely wrong ? Yeeees, but it doesn't look good. We are investigating. And also asking if this is true, why?
Rudy, good question about the finish. It is tin over nickel over silver. I don't know the thicknesses - yet.

You will find all detail about MSD in IPC/JEDEC-J-033A. It talk about moisture not soldering.

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?
