Lead free solder , was : REMOVING ENAMEL COATING
One of the biggest problems I have with the lead free solder is that
over time it tends to grow tin whiskers. Then it shorts out to adjacent
pads. Current reliability requirements are to encapsulate all the
solder joints with epoxy. This is painful and really causes problems
with rework.
No-lead; a feel-good solution to a non-problem.
