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

Process Qualification Using the IPC-B-52 Standard Test Assembly

Many professionals in the electronics manufacturing industry have,or eventually will,face the issue of determining whether the materials of construction for printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) are .. read more

Removal of Palladium Residue in Semi-Additive Process for Enhanced Reliability in

In order to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for smaller and lighter electronic devices,a drastic miniaturization is making rapid progresses for even circuit features on printed wiring boards .. read more

The Chemistry and Properties of a Newly Developed Immersion Silver Coating for PWB

To meet the emerging requirement of eliminating lead from electronics,the printed wiring board (PWB) industry is migrating from hot-air-leveled SnPb solder to alternative final finishes. A thin .. 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

Soldering Fluxes and the Repair Process

Wave soldering fluxes are currently used in hand soldering operations as a matter of course and with little regard for flux deposition amounts. This use has led to the investigation of fluxes u .. read more
