Have any experience that Sn/Pb plated integrated circuit products will appear some rainbowbridge-like substance after exposing at conditions of 121degC, 100%RH and 15psi for 48hours or above? The rainbow bridge substance was analyzed by EDAX and fou

It's always safer to use a higher voltage cap than a lower voltage cap. It isn't a fuse... There is only one case where we dropped the voltage on a cap. We were using a tantalum cap that was rated to 16V, but had been built in the standard packagi

There is no shortage of reasons to clean your boards. Soldering or reflowing your boards leaves �stuff� on them. This �stuff� is normally corrosive and conductive (some fluxes / pastes are more corrosive / conductive than others). In either case,

We're not sure what you mean by temperature sensitive components. From an assembly process stand-point, every component we use is temperature sensitive to one level or another. More specifically, some of our products use polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

Alpha UP78 was a modern solder paste. Check with your supplier for recommendations. You're are cleaning some flux residue with the IPA and reducing the leakage current. We're not wild about using IPA. Problems with IPA are: * IPA / material being
