Effectiveness of Conformal Coat to Prevent Corrosion of Nickel-palladium-gold-finished Terminals

Nickel-palladium-gold-finished terminals are susceptible to creep corrosion. Excessive creep corrosion can result in device failure due to insulation resistance loss between adjacent terminals. .. read more

A New Method for Measuring Conformal Coating Adhesion

Coating adhesion has been a difficult property to measure,and the industry has made do with a scratch test that is only capable of qualitative tests. NPL with industrial partners,have developed .. read more

Calculated Shear Stress Produced by Silicone and Epoxy Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) During Thermal Cycling

Choosing a Thermal Interface Material adhesive can have an impact on the reliability of the microelectronic package in harsh thermal environments where thermal cycling temperature ranges are mo .. read more

Thermal Expansion of Silicones in Electronic Reliability

CTE mismatches during temperature cycling can cause significant movement of components and materials relative to one another,which in turn stresses solder joints and wirebonds. Silicones are of .. read more

Low Temperature Characteristics of Silicones

Silicones are often used to protect electronic applications designed for cold environments. The low temperature flexibility of silicones is well recognized,but not as well understood. While the .. read more
