5. PACKAGING.
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order
(see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel
need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are
maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within
the military services system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military
Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible
packaging activity

specification.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition requirements are as specified in MIL-PRF-49465.

6.3 Tin whisker growth. The use of alloys with tin content greater than 97 percent, by mass, may exhibit tin
whisker growth problems after manufacture. Tin whiskers may occur anytime from a day to years after manufacture
and can develop under typical operating conditions, on products that use such materials. Conformal coatings applied
over top of a whisker-prone surface will not prevent the formation of tin whiskers. Alloys of 3 percent lead, by mass,
have shown to inhibit the growth of tin whiskers. For additional information on this matter, refer to ASTM-B545
(Standard Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Tin).
6.4 Changes from previous issue. Changes from previous issue. The margins of this specification are marked
with vertical lines to indicate where changes from the previous issue were made. This was done as a convenience
only and the Government assumes no liability whatsoever for any inaccuracies in these notations. Bidders and
contractors are cautioned to evaluate the requirements of this document based on the entire content irrespective of
