Failure Mechanisms in Embedded Planar Capacitors during High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) Testing

High temperature operating life (HTOL) testing was performed on embedded planar capacitors (with epoxy- BaTiO3 composite dielectric) by subjecting these devices to highly accelerated temperatur .. read more

A Test Methodology for Copper Dissolution in Lead-Free Alloys

Lead-free selective soldering can result in extended times at high temperatures,which in turn can result in excessive dissolution of exposed copper,such as plated through holes. This phenomenon .. read more

Fluid Flow Mechanics -Key to Low Standoff Cleaning

Over 3 years ago,Zestron initially addressed cleaning underneath 4 MIL standoff components. With the emergence of lead-free and even smaller components new challenges have now arisen to include .. read more

Determining the Reliability of Tacky Fluxes in Varying Soldering Applications

The use of tacky fluxes is common throughout the industry in applications such as ball attach,BGA repair and hand soldering. These applications employ different heating profiles,meaning that th .. read more

Sublimation of Two Dicarboxylic Acids Used in Solder Pastes

Our industry is slowly coming to the realization that many fluxes containing low molecular weight carboxylic acids cannot be adequately tested for surface insulation resistance and electrochemi .. read more

Further Analysis of the Alternate Finishes Task Group Report on Time,Temperature and Humidity Stress of Final Board Finish Solderability

The IPC study mentioned in the title looked at the effects of time,temperature and humidity on the solderability of true bare copper,immersion silver,immersion tin,organic soldering preservativ .. read more
