Hello, I am Philip Kazmierowicz and I work with KIC, a Thermal Profiling company. We have done many lifetime experiments on Printed Circuit Boards over the years. The key thing to understand is that if the primary material of the board in FR4 fiber

I'm shadowing an old posting posted by Odor back in March 2002. Any Expert out there, if you have good answer to the below questions, please dive in...Thanks in advance. 1) Does anybody have done the profiling board life time experiment? 2) The prof

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)

Gawd. Sure FR-4 will meet those conditions. Tg [check the fine SMTnet Archives for discussion on Tg] of FR-4 is 130�F or so. Consider: * Is the delT between Tg and the upper operating [or storage] temperature acceptable for your application? * D

Customer puts our board to thermal test. Test cycle is -55c to 85c, repeat cycle in 15-20min. After 600 cycles, lot of TSOP joints are cracked, leads lifted. There are reasons such as thin PCB, mechanical impacts, warped PCB... My question is, how lo

Well, I can't speak for them falling off later on, as that's not when I see them, and they are passing their wire pull tests after bonding. What I am seeing is electrical opens during testing, and these opens coincide with the Au/Al bonded points. Th

I have been reading a good deal about IMC (purple plague in particular) in gold wire/aluminum pad wire bonds. My company uses ultrasonic wedge bonding, and for the most part all of our bonding is gold/gold, however we have one particulr part that has

Mike: I�d hate to see you making design decisions, based solely on the discussion here, but that this would be an impetus to consult IPC-D-279, "Design Guidelines ... " and take a course on designing reliable boards. Werner Engelmaier (Engelmaier

Hi, Has anyone done some research (measurement/simulation) on the effect of PWB vias on solder ball temperature of the component? Would this have some effect on solder joint reliability especially during power cycling? Any comments will be appreciat
