Here is Mike Osterman's comment about 140 ppm incidence of whiskers: #IO is a factor in the CALCE Tin Whisker Risk Calculator Gap size is also. This on a Failure site basis. It will vary by part(s).

Several have already commented, and I just posted the link to NASA comments from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration report that Bob Landman had posted here. I suggest adding your comments to the Lasky blog below and fill his mailbox. Oh, if you know Mike Buetow at Circuits Assembly, you may want to copy him - just so the boss knows what is afoot.
