| Who knows something about the reliability of plasti PEMS and its enhancemant by application of conformal coating (Parylene, metal, SiO2, SiNxOx, etc.) ? We have performed failure analyses on PEM's in our lab for many years. The vast majority of pa

Hello all, Our company has always used HASL finish on our products. Recently however, we have a had a problem on a couple of boards that I have been told cannot be avoided with HASL, and we should switch to ENIG(electroless nickel immersion gold).

Steve , I use a general set of guidlines when developing reflow profiles: Ramp rate to 140 deg C - 50-60 seconds Time at preheat (140-160 deg C) - 90-120 sec Time above liquidous (183 deg C) - 45-90 sec Time at peak (215-225 deg C) - 9-12 sec peak t

My email mail machine couldn't send this to you ... Hi Stivais ... I didn't read the report. It seems to require downloading of a 'reader' of some sort. No thanks. If you would, just attach the report to this email. Regardless, energy-dispersive X-r

Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed at the interface of two different metals, whose atoms have an extremely high natural attraction for each other, so high, that they do not bond to other elements by any other means. Also, intermetalic compo

I have a question concerning what plating will go into solution during the reflow process. I am soldering a small piece of ceramic (120x180 mils 7 mil thick) onto a flex circuit. I am seeing some fractures that I am sure are being caused by handlin

Russ: Now that�s a good story. Nuff said on the Vegas trip, that explains everything. Especially when you say "it must have something to do with ..." I love WS609. It�s been berry, berry good to me. Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed a

I think most people don't "get" soldering, and advocate the "more-is-better" approach as if solder were duct tape - you know...the more duct tape you put on something the stronger the bond. Such is NOT the case with soldering. People don't "get" that
