Test Methods to Validate Acceptable Levels of Flux and Other Process Residues on Production Assemblies

On January 10, 2024, this webinar covered best practices for minimizing and managing flux residues in electronics manufacturing. It addressed risks associated with low standoff components, m .. read more

Cleaning in an HDI World

For many years there has been a huge disconnect between the engineers that design the assembly and the chemists responsible for developing the assembly materials. In short,engineers and chemist .. read more

The Uncertainty of Surface Insulation Resistance/Electrochemical Migration Performance of Completed Assemblies

The breadth of materials and processes used in today’s electronic assemblies may make it impossible to predict SIR/ECM performance without adequate testing of material and process combinations. .. read more

Defluxing for New Assembly Requirements

Consider defluxing at the design stage. This involves determining how product design may impact the assembly process. It also involves selecting the most effective,rugged defluxing option relat .. read more

Atmospheric Plasma – A New Surface Treatment Technology for Cleaning PCBs

Low-pressure plasmas have been used for many years to surface clean and functionalize substrates prior to downstream converting operations; therefore,the benefits of plasma treatment are well r .. read more

A Comparison of Lead Free Solder Assembly Defluxing Processes

The enactment of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is prompting significant changes in solder paste formulations and their process conditions as manufacturers move to Lea .. read more

Finally! Practical Guidelines for Achieving Successful Lead-Free Assembly

With the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive in Europe outlawing lead from many electronic devices produced and imported in the EU by July 2006,as well as with foreign co .. read more
