Exploring the High Temperature Reliability Limits for Silicone Adhesives

The thermal stability of silicone polymers,fluids and resins has been well documented and studied extensively. The high temperature performance of silicone adhesives and sealants used for elect .. read more

Pad Cratering

Lead-free assembly has introduced many challenges and non-conformances. One of the more troubling non-conformances is “Pad Cratering”. Pad cratering is when the copper pad completely separates .. read more

Identifying Reliable Applications for the Tin-Zinc Eutectic in Electrical and Electronic Assemblies

With a melting point of 199°C,about 20°C lower than the liquidus temperature of SAC305 the Sn-Zn eutectic (Sn~9% Zn) appears to be an attractive candidate as a Pb-free solder. With,at July 2010 .. read more

Reliable Acid Copper Plating for Metallization of PCB

Copper plating is widely used in the electronic industry for fabrication of electronic devices. It is particularly useful for fabrication of printed circuit boards and semiconductors. Copper is .. read more

A Compliant and Creep Resistant SAC-Al (Ni) Alloy

Addition of Al into SAC alloys reduces the number of hard Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5 IMC particles,and forms larger,softer non-stoichiometric AlAg and AlCu particles. This results in a significant reduct .. read more

Low Temperature Characteristics of Silicones

Silicones are often used to protect electronic applications designed for cold environments. The low temperature flexibility of silicones is well recognized,but not as well understood. While the .. read more

The Property Research and Applications of Vertical Pulse Copper Plating

Horizontal and vertical pulse plating have been widely used for panel plating in PCB industry,but rarely used for pattern plating. This article analyzes and reviews the crystal structure,throwi .. read more
