Evaluation of Solder Pastes for Flux Residue Mitigation in Cleaning Machines*

Recently new semi-aqueous in-line cleaning machines (CM) were installed; however, the associated increased volumes of circuit card assemblies (CCAs) being cleaned after SMT surface mount tec .. read more

Can Age and Storage Conditions Affect the SIR Performance of a No-Clean Solder Paste Flux Residue?

The SMT assembly world,especially within the commercial electronics realm,is dominated by no-clean solder paste technology. A solder paste flux residue that does not require removal is very att .. read more

Vapor phase and Convection Reflow: Comparison of Solder Paste Residue Chemical Reliability

Convection soldering remains the most common reflow process in electronic assembly,mostly in air,but sometimes using a nitrogen atmosphere to reduce oxidation. On the other hand,vapor phase sol .. read more

Evaluation of Lead Free Solder Paste Materials for PCBA

Most of electronic components on a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) are surface mount components assembled using solder paste material. Having a good solder paste material is very critical .. read more

A Novel Approach to Experimentally Create and Mitigate Head-in-Pillow Defects

One of the solder joint failures encountered frequently during Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) is due to Head-in-Pillow (HiP) defects. The primary cause of HiP defect is due to the warpag .. read more
