Tin Whisker Mitigation
As an AEM company, Central Semiconductor has added the option of the TWM service to all Central devices through AEM Aerospace and Defense headquartered in San Diego, CA. As a leading producer of high-reliability passive components for use in military, aerospace and medical electronic devices, AEM A&D has devised an aerospace-qualified tin/lead (Sn/Pb) conversion process designed to virtually eliminate the formation of tin whiskers on surface-mount component terminations (including types with external terminals). The AEM proprietary plating process delivers superior quality while eliminating the potential damage to sensitive electronic devices caused by conventional hot-solder dipping. AEM’s Sn/Pb conversion process is ideal for active and passive components including semiconductors, capacitors, inductors, resistors, ferrite chip beads, fuses, resistor arrays, capacitor arrays, bead arrays in chip scale and plastic body molded surface mount devices.
