MEASURING WHISKER GROWTH ON TIN AND TIN ALLOY SURFACE FINISHESStatus: Reaffirmed May 2014, September 2019 |
JESD22-A121A | Jul 2008 |
The predominant terminal finishes on electronic components have been Sn-Pb alloys. As the industry moves toward Pb-free components and assembly processes, the predominant terminal finish materials will be pure Sn and alloys of Sn, including Sn-Bi and Sn-Ag Pure Sn and Sn-based alloy electrodeposits and solder-dipped finishes may grow tin whiskers, which could electrically short across component terminals or break off the component and degrade the performance of electrical or mechanical parts.
