Our Whisker Buster Process is a new process that is equivalent to the conventional Sn-Pb bath in terms of whisker suppression effect. It is a total process including the pretreatment, pure Sn plating, and post-treatment stages and assures stable levels of whisker suppression effect and solderability.
|
 |

| 1. |
Improves whisker suppression effect without undercoating or annealing after plating. |
 |
| 2. |
Allows the use of present facilities without modification. |
 |
| 3. |
Provides solderability that is comparable to and assures ease in secondary processing like the conventional Sn-Pb bath. |
 |
| 4. |
Allows easy bath control. |
 |
| 5. |
Allows cost reduction in comparison with the Sn alloy plating. |
