An Investigation into Hand Sanitizers and Hand Lotions and Potential Risks to High Performance Electronics

As people become more concerned about the global outbreaks of various strains of influenza,more precautions are being taken with respect to personal hygiene. A common precaution involves the us .. read more

A Non-Vacuum Process for Deposition of Thin Copper on Flexible Base Materials

The use of flexible circuit boards in the design and manufacture of electronic products has experienced a consistent and rapid growth over the last 15 years because their light weight and physi .. read more

Comparative Assessment of Electrochemical Migration on Printed Circuit Boards with Lead-Free and Tin-Lead Solders

Current leakage on a printed circuit board (PCB) can occur due to a reduction in surface insulation resistance (SIR) between adjacent conductors. This is frequently caused by electrochemical mi .. read more

The Digital Solder Paste

Since the beginning of Surface Mount Technology over 40 years ago solder paste has been an integral element in electronics assembly. Historically solder paste design and development has been,in .. read more

Cleaning Qualification Methodology for Inline Aqueous Assembly Process

An assessment to measure the cleanliness of the area underneath a component has been completed. The assessment uses an 8”×9”×0.093” test vehicle with FR4 laminate,OSP surface finishing,and 21 p .. read more

Methods for Choosing a Saponifier or Surfactant for Printed Circuit Board and Stencil Cleaning Applications

This paper will discuss the technical challenges associated with the selection of chemical additive for the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and stencil cleaning processes. The removal of .. read more

SELECTION OF WAVE SOLDERING FLUXES FOR LEAD-FREE ASSEMBLY

The process challenges of lead-free wave soldering often require the use of new flux chemistries when compared with the relatively tolerant tin-lead wave soldering process. In some cases,the fl .. read more

The Role of Permeability and Ion Transport In Conformal Coating Protection

The level of protection offered by a range of conformal coatings on electronic assemblies has been evaluated. The role of permeability and ion transport is the primary interest. Testing was car .. read more

Are Lead-free Assemblies Especially Endangered by Climatic Safety?

The ever-increasing use of high frequency in high density interconnect (HDI) assemblies,combined with the worldwide move toward lead-free manufacturing,has initiated a closer scrutiny towards e .. read more
