“Whisker growth is caused by deposit stress, such as heat, to pure tin plated components. The gold plated termination series from AVX eliminates a printed circuit board’s susceptibility to tin whiskering, which can significantly affect the performance and reliability of a system,” said Tim Piver, product manager at AVX.
This series further strengthens AVX’s commitment to alternate terminations. Other alternate terminations offered are SnPb, PdAg, Flexiterm, and Flexisafe.
