Mathematical model for dynamic force analysis of printed circuit boards has been designed to calculate dynamic deformations and stresses in printed circuit boards and assess their dynamic strength and rigidity. The represented model describes a printed circuit board as a ...
Failure analysis (FA) is one of the key competencies in Intel. It enables very rapid achievement of world class manufacturing standards, resulting in excellent microprocessor time-to-market performance. This paper discusses the evolution of FA techniques from one generation of microprocessors to another.
Thermal Cycling Reliability Consortium projects allow for joint research to investigate the reliability of multiple solder alloys under a variety of environmental stress conditions. Project jointly sponsored by iNEMI and HDP User Group and including CALCE and Universal consortium currently assessing 15 third-generation solder alloys.
Analyzing failures is a critical process in determining the physical root causes of problems. The process is complex, draws upon many different technical disciplines, and uses a variety of observation, inspection, and laboratory techniques. One of the key factors in properly performing ...
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 ...
This paper presents the use of physics of failure (PoF) methodology to infer fast and accurate lifetime predictions for power electronics at the printed circuit board (PCB) level in early design stages. It is shown that the ability to accurately model ...
Solder Paste Re-Cycling -- Just wondering if anyone on the forum knows of a solder paste recovery/re-cycling system that can turn old solder paste into solder bar?

Service help -- We are in Dover NH and need help with a Kiss103 machine. Can anyone offer help?
Singulating low volume tab routed PCBs to strict military specifications requires the right tool for the job. Now, with the benchtop PCB depaneling router from FKN Systek, applications requiring routing rather than punching are easily taken care of. This machine is also useful as a backup to high-speed programmable routers for short runs, and for separating thick back planes which cannot be singulated by other means.... | FKN Systek
Thermaltronics USA, Inc. today announced that it has opened its second facility in the US in Ormond Beach, FL. The new facility will feature a custom designed showroom for Thermaltronics solder robots as well as other soldering equipment. It is large enough to serve as future stocking location for US customers/distribution.... | Thermaltronics USA, Inc.
