Authenticity Testing

Counterfeit and substandard parts and components have been a recurring theme in practically every market. For the last several years,the largest concern has been in the military and aerospace i .. read more

Results of Fabrication DOE for DuPont Pyralux TK®,A Low Dielectric,Thin Flexible Circuit Material

From the first time we heard of new thin,low Dk,flex laminate material from DuPont we were excited. The material is what is now known,and commercially available,as DuPont’s Pyralux TK®. Working .. read more

Screening for Counterfeit Electronic Parts

Counterfeit electronic parts have become a significant cause of worry in the electronics part supply chain. Most of the counterfeit parts detected in the electronics industry are either new or .. read more

Real or Fake? The Counterfeit Chip Conundrum

Counterfeiting is clearly a growing problem in many industries,including electronics,around the world. As the financial impact of counterfeiting has grown over the years,so has the attention th .. read more

Bare Board Material Performance after Pb-free Reflow

This presentation will review the findings of a HDPUG consortia effort to evaluate 29 different bare board material and stack-up combinations and their associated performance after 6X Pb-free r .. read more

Effects of Tin Mitigation Processes on Whisker Growth and Solder Joint Reliability for Chip and Small-Outline Package Components

This paper reports the results of an evaluation of tin mitigation processes for components,i.e. converting parts with pure tin (Sn) and other lead-free (Pb-free) finishes to tin-lead (SnPb) fin .. read more

Engineered Cleaning Fluids Designed for Batch Processing

Highly dense circuit assemblies increase the cleaning challenge. Batch cleaning equipment designs provide a small footprint,low cleaning fluid consumption,and low cost of ownership. Batch clean .. read more

Design for Manufacturability in the Lead Free Wave Solder Process

The recent use of lead free alloys has made the wave solder process more challenging in terms of achieving acceptable solder joints for both SMT and PTH components. It has been found that the D .. read more

Printed Circuit Board Reliability and Integrity Characterization Using MAJIC

The recent need to develop lead-free electrical and electronic products has resulted in an increased demand to characterize solder joint integrity. Many standards exist to evaluate the long ter .. read more

SMT Assembly Process Comparison of Pb-free Alloy Systems

This paper provides an assembly process comparison of Pb-free alloys with a Sn/Pb alloy using a test vehicle designed to resemble real world manufacturing applications. Four different Pb-free a .. read more

Comparison of X-ray Inspection Systems for BGA/CCGA Quality Assurance and Crack Detection

For high reliability applications,the use of x-ray technique has become an additional inspection requirement for quality control and detection of unique defects due to manufacturing of advanced .. read more

Implementation of High I/O Count 1mm Pitch BGA Technology

Electronic package size reduction and demand for increased functions within less board space make a challenge for the PCB designer to find smaller footprint components that will out perform lar .. read more
