Tin Whiskers Family Qualifications - Class 2
ALL INTEGRATED PASSIVE COMPONENTS, ANTENNAS & CHIP INDUCTORS PRODUCED BY JOHANSON TECHNOLOGY INC.
Tin Whiskers Family QualificationRESULTS:
All Johanson Integrated Passive Components (IPC’s) and Chip Inductors are qualified by similarity based on the test results herein.
Three (3) separate, representative, Johanson Integrated Passive Components (IPC’s) all plated on the same Johanson plating line, completed and meet all requirements of:
- JEDEC JESD201 Environmental Acceptance Requirements for Tin Whisker Susceptibility of Tin and Tin Alloy Surface Finishes for Class 2 products
- JEDEC JESD22-A121A Test Method for Measuring Whisker Growth on Tin & Tin Alloy Surface Finishes
All samples exhibited no (zero) tin whisker growth during both specified storage tests, and <= 26 micron tin whisker growth during temperature cycling, therefore meeting the 45 micron specified maximum. This qualifies all Johanson IPC’s, Antennas and Chip Inductors by similarity.
DETAILS: Johanson IPC’s tested:
| JTI Part Number | Part Description | EIA Size | Manufacturing Order Number | Lot Number | Test ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2450AT18A100 | Antenna, 2.45 GHz | 1206 | 354746-01 | 403-8044 | A1 |
| 2450BM14E0003 | Impedance Matched Balun | 0603 | 454381-01 | 505-X028 | B2 |
| 5425BL07B0100 | Balun, 5.5GHz | 0402 | 423145-00 | 416-8029 | B1 |
Nine (9) samples of each part number were tested in each of the three (3) Tin Whisker tests conducted in parallel and described in Figure 1. All three (3) tests were run as specified for Class 2 products, i.e., 1500 temperature cycles, and 4000 hours for each of the storage tests.
