K KeepItSimpleStupid Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member Jan 11, 2012 #1 Hey Guys: This article https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2012/01/2011-NASA-GSFC-whisker-failure-app-sensor.pdf seems to be a good read, including the referenced NASA site. NASA did find a failure mode with the accelerator in Toyota Vehicles due to tin whiskers. This reference article https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2012/01/2011-kostic-Pb-free.pdf is a very good report on the state of Lead Free and reliability. Enjoy!
