Hello all!

A new board I am building here uses the AVX Multiguard for ESD
protection.  I have had some current leakage issues with a small
percentage of this product.  AVX is evaluating the problem and presently
believe it is related to an interaction of the flux in the paste (Alpha
WS609) and the coating on the part.  I have 3 questions:

1.      Has anyone ever heard of this problem with this part or another
TVS component from another manufacture.
2.      What was done to correct the problem.
3.      What solder paste are users of this part using.

Thanks in advance.
