An Examination of Glass-fiber and Epoxy Interface Degradation in Printed Circuit Boards

Conductive filament formation or CAF typically occurs in two steps: degradation of the resin/glass fiber bond followed by an electrochemical reaction. Bond degradation provides a path along whi .. read more

Design for Reliability: Improving Reliability of Plastic Encapsulated Ocean Technology Products by Understanding Moisture Ingress through FEA Simulation

Remote sensing products designed for ocean environments sustain the harshness of cold oceans. The reliability of these telemetry devices needs to be very high to measure,collect and transmit da .. read more

Performance of Photoimageable Solder Masks – A Study on Thermal Stress

The continuous temperature resistance of electrically insulating materials can be judged by examining the effect of thermal stress loads on the electrical properties,such as moisture and insula .. read more

Lessons Learned About Laminates during Migration to Lead-Free Soldering

This paper provides a high-level overview of many of the key lessons learned thus far in working with PCB fabricators in qualifying laminate/fabrication processes that will yield fundamental pr .. read more

Measles in Advanced Technology

Continuous measling,or unidirectional crazing,was observed in a multi-layer polyimide printed wiring board following assembly operations. Damage to the PWB preferentially followed the warp dire .. read more

Higher Reliability “Oriented” Plastic Packages

Plastic IC Packages are generally considered to be not as reliable as their ceramic counterparts. One of the major reasons is the question of hermeticity. Plastic materials generally allow mois .. read more

PCB Materials Behaviours towards Humidity and Impact of the Design,Finishes,Baking and Assembly Processes on Assembly Quality and Solder Joint Reliability

As Electrostatic discharge,humidity can have a bad impact on assembly quality. It requires environmental conditions and process controls but also risks knowledge. To overcome humidity issue,par .. read more

Capabilities of Tools Used to Measure Voids to Industry Standards

It is stated that some degree of voiding is acceptable and inevitable when soldering electronic components,and specifically BGAs. There have been many publications which discuss this phenomena, .. 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

Protecting Automotive Electronics with Vacuum-Deposited Parylene Increasing Electronic Longevity in the Global Automotive Industry

Over the years,electronic components have become increasingly smaller and integrated. Spacing between components and line to line spacing has continually shrunk. This miniaturization has magnif .. read more
