WHAT IS METAL WHISKERS ??

By



METAL WHISKERS 

Metal whiskers are tiny hair-like growths that form on metals. When these electrically conductive whiskers appear on electronic assemblies, they can cause shorts or current leakage. The reason for their appearance is still hypothesized, but they are known to form mostly on pure tin or zinc finished surfaces. They can remain undetected, growing slowly out of your connectors until they destroy your cables and harnesses.
                                 Metal whiskers may vary in shape and size. Some emerge as straight while others may appear curved, forked, pyramidal, or grooved. Growth time can take anywhere from days to years, and can reach up to 10 mm.
                                                           Shorts and arcs are a symptom of metal whiskers. High Voltage, or Hipot, testing can detect metal whiskers and help you avoid serious problems in your products. To learn more about high voltage, check out Cirris’ article on Testing Cables with High Voltage.
                             Due to METAL WHISKERS the electronic circuit can be break after some time and this is cause is perform after electric shock. NASA satellite also not damage after some long time duration because on metal the whiskers grow very fast and make circuit usefulness.

Processor like Intel Core i3 or Dual Core or AMD processor 5. Multimedia keyboard 6. Optical Mouse 7. ATI graphics Card Note:- If you think to buy a laptop you can select the laptop without operating system or open source operating system because if you buy windows o/s for laptop then it increased price aproxx 3000 if you select DOS laptop then its reduced the windows cost.
