Low Outgassing and Ionic Content, High-Performance Light and Moisture Dual Curable Conformal Coating

Polymeric conformal coatings are used to improve and extend the reliability of printed circuit boards against environmental conditions. There is high interest in using light-curable conforma .. read more

Methodology for Developing Cleaning Process Parameters

Electronic assembly processes range from simple to complex and involve a wide range of materials to produce. Each step in the process and each assembly material used will have some impact on .. read more

Qualified Manufacturing Process Development by Applying IPC J-STD-001G Cleanliness Standard

J-STD-001G Amendment 1 standard requires an OEM and EMS to qualify soldering and/or cleaning processes that result in acceptable levels of flux and other residues. Objective evidence shall b .. read more

How Detrimental Production Concerns Related to Solder Mask Residues Can be Countered by Simple Operational Adaptations

The symbiotic relationship between solder masks and selective finishes is not new. The soldermask application is one of the key considerations to ensure a successful application of a selective .. read more

Jet Printed Solder Paste and Cleaning Challenges

In case of broadband technology,component packages and other devices assembled on the PCBs are ever-shrinking,yet demands for quality,precision and reliability remain the same. Thus,how can man .. read more

An Experimental Approach to Characterising CAF

The electrochemical short,Conductive Anodic Filamentation,that that can develop within a PCB can be difficult to diagnose and detect,and there are many material and process issues that can lead .. read more

Validity of the IPC R.O.S.E. Method 2.3.25 Researched

Miniaturization and higher functionality in electronics packaging require the use of advanced packages and small components. This trend has translated into the use of new package types such as .. read more

Comparative Assessment of Electrochemical Migration on Printed Circuit Boards with Lead-Free and Tin-Lead Solders

Current leakage on a printed circuit board (PCB) can occur due to a reduction in surface insulation resistance (SIR) between adjacent conductors. This is frequently caused by electrochemical mi .. read more

Defluxing of Eutectic and Lead-Free PCBs in a Single Cleaning Application

As the entire electronic manufacturing industry braced for the July 1,2006 deadline,it has been reevaluating the entire production process. Likewise,the precision cleaning industry must also .. read more

Novel,VOC-Compliant Aqueous Cleaning Agents for Post-Solder Defluxing

To meet today’s environmental demands,new VOC-free and low-VOC cleaning agents have been formulated that exhibit outstanding cleaning performance for a variety of flux residues. The new cleanin .. read more

Solid Solder Deposit (SSDs),For Advanced Packaging Applications

Solid Solder Deposit (SSD) technology was developed in the early and mid-1990's to improve first pass yields in the manufacture of electronic devices. As the trend towards finer pitch surface m .. read more
