What are possible failure analysis (destructive or non-destructive and what are the pro/cons) I could conduct on the component level (of an IC) to determine failure mode/root cause? We are measuring internal shorts between leads on a SOIC after sold

Hi Peter, I'm not sure where you're located, but I work for Celestica in our Component Failure Analysis and Reliability Testing Lab in Toronto Ontario Canada. We are an idenpendent lab with full FA component, assembly and PWB capabilities and would

One step is to examine the cleanliness on and around the failing component. There could be an ionic contaminant causing the shorts. Regards, Sara Gorcos www.residues.com

We recently had our customer report a component failure trend of a few percent. Analysis indicates wire bond failure internal to a d-pak caused by what appears to be chlorine contamination. We're running a lead free process with aqueous wash. 700 co

The coating is pliable and is air cured for 24 hours. The potting compound goes into the top assemnbly in 3 diferent stages. The circuit boards are coated using urethane type conformal coating. The unit is also placed into an ESS chamber -40� to +

Gentlemen, Does anyone have any failure information on IRC, CHP2-100-R500F (5 OHM, 2W, 1%) resistors. We have experienced two failures on the same circuit board where the metalization on the component separated from the component causing an open ci

Pictures are now located at http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/ These components are 2W resistors that only see 1/2W at max. during normal use. I have contacted IRC still wqaiting for a response. The resistors were tested as good. But the circuit
