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

ICT Probe Penetrability of Solder Paste Flux Residues with a Vacuum-Actuated Fixture

All but the most simple circuit boards processed in recent times are inspected using in-circuit testing,ICT. In order to test on pads or connections printed with no-clean solder paste; the post .. read more

Validated Test Method to Characterize and Quantify Pad Cratering Under Bga Pads on Printed Circuit Boards

The conversion to lead free Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages has raised several new assembly and reliability issues. One reliability concern becoming more prevalent is the increased propensity fo .. read more

Lead-free Feasibility Program: Assembly and Testing of a Functional Military Avionics Unit

Although the official implementation of the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive officially started on July 1,2006,a significant portion of the avionics electronics supply ch .. read more

Industrial Backward Solution for Lead-Free Exempted AHP* Electronic Products
