Tin Whisker Horror Story - Rocket Motor Initiator
The failure mechanism was determined to be tin whiskers emanating from the tin plating on the internal pins. The high conductivity, pure tin crystalline whiskers bridged the 10-mil spark gap to cause the test failures. The fusing current of the whiskers was in the range of the source current of the test equipment. This caused inconsistencies during problem identification and verification at the...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of tin whisker growth
As the result of the global movement to lead-free electronics, companies which assemble semiconductor devices are switching from finishes incorporating lead to pure tin or high tin lead-free alloys. This transition has resulted in a reliability issue, concerning the formation of conductive tin whiskers which can grow across leads of a package and cause current leakage or short circuits. This pa...
متن کاملNemi Tin Whisker Test Method Standards
The need to better understand whisker growth has dramatically increased as component suppliers convert from tin-lead (SnPb) finishes to Pb-free finishes of Sn and low-alloy-content Sn-based finishes. Whiskers are spontaneous growth of metal filaments emanating from the finish surface. The issues with whiskers are they may grow long enough to cause short circuiting or break off and interfere wit...
متن کاملTin whisker analysis of Toyota’s electronic throttle controls
Purpose – This paper aims to present the results of physical analysis that was conducted on Toyota’s electronic engine control system including accelerator pedal position sensors (APPSs). The paper overviews the analyses and focuses on the discovery of tin whiskers found in the accelerator pedal assembly, which are an electrical failure concern. Design/methodology/approach – Analytical techniqu...
