Design and Construction Affects on PWB Reliability

The reliability,as tested by thermal cycling,of printed wire boards (PWB) are established by three variables; copper quality,material robustness and design. The copper quality was most influent .. read more

Designers Guide to Lead-Free SMT: Components,PCB Materials,Plating and Surface Coatings

For decades the manufacturers of electronic components have furnished products that were most compatible with soldering processes that employed a eutectic alloy composition that contained tin a .. read more

Reliability and Failure Mechanisms of Laminate Substrates in a Pb-free World

The plated thru hole has changed considerably in 50 years of electronic packaging,but in its many forms remains the most common interconnection in 1st and 2nd level electronic packaging,and is .. read more

Resin Options for Lead-Free Printed Circuit Boards

The regulation requiring lead-free solders for printed circuit boards (PCBs) has presented a number of challenges to our industry at virtually every stage of the process. For the brominated epo .. read more

More Robust Base Materials for Electronic Assemblies

The proposed revision of IPC-4101 - Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Boards contains new slash sheets describing FR-4 base materials compatible with lead free a .. read more

Lead Free Assembly: Identifying Compatible Base Materials for Your Application

Whether based on good science or not,the elimination of lead from electronic equipment as a result of the European RoHS legislation is a reality. Even those market segments with exemptions mean .. read more

Improved Reliability of Embedded Passives for Lead-Free Assembly
