Hi Munish, Pascal, Pratap, Marc, Cal , and IPC LF Listservers, Thanks, I am still reading and digesting all the Tin Whiskers notes that were posted in July. For those list members who want additional information strive to find a copy of IEEE's Transactions on CP&MT (Components Packaging and Manufacturing Technology). In the June 2004 issue is an open forum section that discusses mitigation strategies and a Proposed Standard for 5 Levels of Mitigation / Control depending on product or customer. Yours in Engineering, Dave Y i Engr, MA/NY DDave -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Leadfee Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Leadfree To temporarily stop delivery of Leadree for vacation breaks send: SET Leadfree NOMAIL Search previous postings at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
