Hi TI experts,

Is there any tools or guides to find out the new components with the specified level of "tin whisker avoid" or "free-tin whisker" for hardware & system design ?

Wu,

I apologize that this was lost in the system when handed off.

You can find information about our Enhanced Products on this web page.

Note, there are an enhanced product guide and an orderables document for EP products.

Wade,

My question is how to find or identify the "electrical components" of the "tin whisker free" level instead of EP products.

Sorry for misunderstanding to you.

Thanks.

Wu,

EP products do not use pure Sn bond pads or Sn solder balls. This is the best way to eliminate tin whiskers.

I believe this is what you are looking for.

Wade,

Understood, thanks for explanation.

Followed your instruction, find the "Enhanced Product Selection Guide".

Last question : Does all EP product meet RoHs policy for Pb-free ?

(refer to " by assembling the device with NiPdAu plating or ***SnPb*** solder balls " in page 4 of "Enhanced Product Selection Guide")

Wu,

Some of the -EP products do not meet RoHS, as they contain lead. Typically this would be the BGA devices with solder balls.

You can verify the RoHS status by going to the product folder, and clicking on the Quality and Packaging tab.
