We are having metal migration issues with SOT 223 and TO 220 parts runing at 500V DC. We are using no clean flux and suspect that is causing the problem. Does anyone have any experience with these levels of DC voltages or know of any consulting firm

Our Customer had detected tarnished pad on ImAg PCBA and had conducted several SEM-EDX test at the soldermask below some of the chip resistors. High concentration of sulfur was found and it can be significantly reduced after further chemical cleaned

Obviously, if your customer instructs you to use a certain flux type, using THAT flux type is probably a good idea. Responding to your question: Chloride is one of the more detrimental materials found on printed circuit assemblies. Chlorides can com

All of the discussion of "environmental controls" are a matter of degree, dependent on the requirements of the product that you manufacture. For example: shops assembling under-the-hood products have different requirements than shops making garage d

�What does 5 micrograms of chloride mean to me?� * With SIR testing, you can show no detrimental leakage currents under humid conditions, no corrosion, no metal migration, which are the big factors in figuring out electrochemical reliability. People
