Predicting Fatigue of Solder Joints Subjected to High Number of Power Cycles

Solder joint reliability of SMT components connected to printed circuit boards is well documented. However,much of the testing and data is related to high-strain energy thermal cycling experime .. read more

Effect of Cooling Rate on the Intermetallic Layer in Solder Joints

While it has long been known that the Cu6Sn5 intermetallic that plays a critical role in the reliability of solder joints made with tin-containing alloys on copper substrates exists in two diff .. read more

Observations on the Influences of Various Parameters on Pb-free Solder Joint Appearance and Strength

A designed experiment evaluated the influence of several variables on visual appearance and strength of Pb-free solder joints. Components,with leads finished with nickel-palladium-gold (NiPdAu) .. read more

Effect of Area Array Package Types on Assembly Reliability and Comments on IPC-9701A

Status of thermal cycle test results for a nonfunctional daisy-chained peripheral ceramic column grid array (CCGA) and its plastic ball grid array (PBGA) version,both having 560 I/Os,were prese .. read more

Reliability of CCGA and PBGA Assemblies

Area Array Packages (AAPs) with 1.27 mm pitch have been the packages of choice for commercial applications; they are now starting to be implemented for use in military and aerospace application .. read more

Solder Joint Reliability Qualification of Various Component Mounting Modification Configurations Using Thermal Cycle Testing

The selection and use of solder joint modification configurations for printed wiring assemblies has traditionally been a design specific activity. The implementation and use of a standardized s .. read more

Investigation of the Effectiveness of Automated X-ray Inspection Systems in a High Volume – Low Mix SMT Line
