ISTR someone also had previously posted a link to some pictures on the NASA web site showing the problem with crystalline whiskers with tin. I think the issue here was that such whisker growth is significant less with traditional leaded solders than the lead-free ones. If this is true, and as we moved towards closer pin placement and higher densities, this could make long term reliability an issue.

Anyone have any more info that aspect?
