VALEO Créteil, France

submitted to the 2nd PCNS 10-13th September 2019, Bucharest, Romania as paper 4.4.

Introduction

Some PCBAs were submitted to a whisker test +85°C 85% RH for 200h duration and additional 2h from +85°C/85% RH-T° +25°C/50% RH 5 Cycles. The functional test pass and boards were sent to an external lab for visual inspection. Inspection failed because of Tin whiskers detected on MLCCs terminations. (more…)
