Hello TechNeters,

The PCB for lead free soldering  with the Immersion tin  technology has allegedly  around 1%  of Ag in this Tin plating  to alleviate the whickers growth potential.

Would anybody know and tell us if this 1%  of Ag is the correct proportion for  prevention  of the whiskers growth  and if not what is the recommendation?
Thank you for info beforehand.
