Testing to Eliminate Reliability Defects from Electronic Packages.

Endicott Interconnect Technologies

Electronic Packaging is a critical part of all electronic devices and can be a source of the reliability problems experienced by systems using those devices.

iNEMI Publishes Guidelines for Subassemblies in High-Reliability Applications
iNEMI

HERNDON, VA (June 23, 2006) - iNEMI's High-Reliability RoHS Task Force has published guidelines regarding assembly processes and reliability requirements for RoHS5 [1] and RoHS6 [2] subassembly modules [3]. With the current RoHS exemptions for high-reliability electronics, it is possible for electronic assemblies to contain lead (Pb) and still be RoHS-compliant. Manufacturers taking the Pb exemption will continue to require SnPb-compatible components for their products, and may also use subassemblies, such as hard disk drives and power modules, that may or may not be Pb-free.

It was a hell of a job, but we got it done in 8 hours. We've been running with this alloy for four days now and I'll just have to admit that it rocks! (...)
