An Efficient and Innovative Cleaning Solution with Low Environmental Impact

Contamination of electronic assemblies can occur at any process steps and can be of different natures such as oxides, organic residues, or dusts. Those contaminations could reduce the reliab .. read more

How to Manage Wave Solder Alloy Contaminations

European electronics industry is soldering with lead-free alloys for one decade now. In this period not only the knowledge of the alloys in the assembly process has been improved,but also a hig .. read more

Reducing Defects in Hand Soldering Operations

Wire soldering operations are still widely accepted in the electronics assembly industry. When a product or the parts within cannot withstand the heat of oven reflow,the localized heat provided .. read more

Contamination of Hydrocarbon Ceramic Dielectric

Various forms of contamination on the surface of hydrocarbon ceramic dielectric PWBs have been observed following component population. Although contamination is occasionally observed on PWBs f .. read more

Lead-free Rework Experiences Using SAC and Sn-Cu Based Alloys

As companies transition over to lead-free assembly a certain amount of hand-soldering and rework will be performed. An article from Tech Search International last year did state that in Asia wh .. read more

Cleaning Lead Free prior to Conformal Coating? Risks and Implications

Cleaning prior to conformal coating ensures optimal adhesion. In fact,a number of contaminations that are created during the soldering steps significantly impair the cross linkage and can be sa .. read more

JCAA/JG-PP No-Lead Solder Project: Vibration Test

Vibration testing was conducted by Boeing Phantom Works (Seattle) for the Joint Council on Aging Aircraft/Joint Group on Pollution Prevention (JCAA/JG-PP) No-Lead Solder Project. The JCAA/JG-PP .. read more

Development of Cleanliness Specification for Single - Mode Connectors

This paper summarizes research performed by the NEMI (National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) Fiber Optic Signal Performance Project team. The project focused on the development of a cle .. read more

Enhancing the Performance of a Graphite Direct Metalization Process

Colloidal graphite direct metalization processes have proven their usefulness as a replacement for electroless copper. This is especially the case in high technology and quick turn applications .. read more

Cleaning For Tomorrow

As technologies evolve with the onset of smaller and smaller components,different flux residues,and the no-lead solders,manufacturing companies are asking questions regarding what they need to .. read more

Mems Packaging: Challenges and Opportunities
