Final Finishes for High Temperature Applications: A Comparison of OSP and Immersion Silver Final Finish Coatings

With the increased use of lead-free alloys there has been interest in understanding the applications and limitations of final finish coatings for lead-free assembly processes. The higher temper .. read more

THE EFFECT OF FILLING VIA-IN-PAD ON VOIDING RATES IN PWB ASSEMBLY FOR BGA COMPONENTS

The debate on the effect of voiding on BGA reliability has continued for years. Many PWB assemblers strive to minimize voiding,particularly with the advent of lead-free processing and in fine f .. read more

Corrosion Resistance of PWB Final Finishes

As the electronic industry is moving to lead-free PWB final finishes and high density circuit boards,the widely used PWB finish,SnPb HASL,has to be replaced with a lead-free and coplanar PWB fi .. read more

Performance of China Alloy SnAgCuCe in Reflow Soldering

Work on assisting China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) to assess the performance of a solder paste using the China alloy Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu0.019Ce (SACCe) was completed. Two Indium fluxes w .. read more

The Advantages of Mildly Alkaline Immersion Silver as a Final Finish for Solderability

The immersion silver process has become the first choice of final finishing for many original equipment manufacturers (OEM) because of its shortened process flow,good conductivity,even depositi .. read more

The New Lead Free Assembly Rework Solution Using Low Melting Alloys

This paper describes a new lead-free SMT rework process which avoids component overheating,reduces board warpage and cratering,and prevents adjacent components from thermal damage. In the repla .. read more
