Next Best Thing to a Close Shave: Mitigating the Risks of Tin Whiskers

Technical Library | 2010-09-23 18:22:39.0

If you've been in electronics for any length of time, the phenomenon of tin whiskers is something you've likely heard discussed (maybe in scared whispered tones). Tin whiskers certainly aren't a new problem. In fact, some of the first published reports of the occurrence date back to the 1940’s and 1950's. But, over half a century later, we're still talking about it.

Scavenging

Technical Library | 2011-09-01 18:11:31.0

Scavenging, Site Dressing, Residual Solder Removal. What's in a name? "That which we call an onion, by any other name would smell as strong" (apologies to the immortal bard). And, regardless of the name you give it, the objective is the same, namely the clean up of remaining solder after a component (particularly a BGA) or R.F. Shield has been removed from a PCB. This paper will describe the various methods that are available and discuss their pros and cons.

Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive Bonding - A High Quality Interconnection Technique

Technical Library | 2011-09-08 13:46:10.0

Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive Bonding is an interconnection technique mostly used for connecting displays to pcb’s using anisotropic conductive adhesive and flex foils. For successful implementation there are a few basic constraints. If these are followed, display connection is a simple and reliable process, giving top quality connections. Heat-Sealing can be done in any factory and can be introduced in a few months, from start of design to mass productions

A Novel Solution for No-Clean Flux not Fully Dried under Component Terminations

Technical Library | 2017-08-17 12:28:30.0

At SMT assembly, flux outgassing/drying is difficult for devices with poor venting channel, and resulted in insufficiently dried/burnt-off flux residue for no-clean process. Examples including: Large low stand-off components such as QFN, LGA Components covered under electromagnetic shield which has either no or few venting holes Components assembled within cavity of board Any other devices with small open space around solder joints

Best Practices for Improving the PCB Supply Chain: Performing the Process Audit

Technical Library | 2018-08-03 14:37:59.0

In the electronics industry, the quality and reliability of any product is highly dependent upon the capabilities of the manufacturing suppliers. Manufacturing defects are one of the top reasons why companies fail to meet warranty expectations. These problems can result in severe financial pain and eventual loss of market share. What a surprising number of engineers and managers fail to realize is that focusing on processes addresses only part of the issue. Supplier selection also plays a critical role in the success or failure of the final product.

Troubleshooting the STM32F429 board and restoring its operation

Technical Library | 2020-11-19 10:15:54.0

How to repair boards if they have been produced for a long time, and the documentation is lost? In this case, intelligent recognition systems can help, which will allow you to identify component pins without documentation for the board. In this article, we will find the STM32F429 board malfunctions without any documentation and in the least amount of time.

Failure Mechanisms Of Electromechanical Relays On PCBAs: Part I

Technical Library | 2021-09-15 18:53:20.0

Many printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) have relays that are soldered to the PCB. If such an electromechanical component fails, it can cause the whole device to fail, just like any other electronic component. The spectrum of root causes that lead to an increased contact resistance or a complete contact failure is totally different from what usually occurs in the electronics domain. This article provides a detailed analysis of these failures and the corresponding root causes, many of them self-centering.

Counterfeit Detection Strategies: When to Do It / How to Do It

Technical Library | 2021-10-12 18:08:28.0

Counterfeit components have been defined as a growing concern in recent years as demand increases for reducing costs. In fact the Department of Commerce has identified a 141% increase in the last three years alone. A counterfeit is any item that is not as it is represented with the intention to deceive its buyer or user. The misrepresentation is often driven by the known presence of defects or other inadequacies in regards to performance. Whether it is used for a commercial, medical or military application, a counterfeit component could cause catastrophic failure at a critical moment.

The Effect of Higher Stencil Tension on Printing Performance

Technical Library | 2023-06-12 19:07:04.0

In this article we will examine if there is a measurable difference in the printing performance when using stencils which have a higher tension than is commonly accepted in the industry. Alpha's new tensoRED™ High Tension Frame System will be introduced during this wider examination. We will examine their effect in terms of controlling variation in critical deposit volumes and what, if any effect on positional accuracy can be seen.

Optimizing Stencil Design For Lead-Free Smt Processing

Technical Library | 2023-06-12 19:18:24.0

As any new technology emerges, increasing levels of refinement are required to facilitate the mainstream implementation and continual improvement processes. In the case of lead-free processing, the initial hurdles of alloy and chemistry selection are cleared on the first level, providing a base process. The understanding gained from early work on the base process leads to the next level of refinement in optimizing the primary factors that influence yield. These factors may include thermal profiles, PWB surface finishes, component metallization, solder mask selection or stencil design.
