Surface Treatment Enabling Low Temperature Soldering to Aluminum

The majority of flexible circuits are made by patterning copper metal that is laminated to a flexible substrate, which is usually polyimide film of varying thickness. An increasingly popular .. read more

High Temperature Thermal Cycling Reliability Testing of a High Reliability Lead-free Solder Alloy

In recent years there has been an increased demand for electronic products with high reliability solder alloys having improved performance in thermal cycle resistance for harsh working envir .. read more

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

Impact of Lead Contamination on Reliability of Lead Free Alloys

Meeting the RoHS directive will require the transition from the historical tin-lead based system of materials to one that does not contain lead. This is of course is not straight forward as it .. read more

Solderability Testing Methodologies for BGA Packages

Solderability testing is carried out at the IC (Integrated Circuit) manufacturer’s end to evaluate the quality of the IC package terminals in terms of solder wetting ability. Current industrial .. read more
