Program: Materials Tech
Embedded Components: Analysis of Reliability
Paper aims at analyzing and confirming the reliability performance of embedded components compared to that of standard SMT components.
Program: Analysis Lab
The Demise of the Plated-Through Hole?
How long do you expect the industry will continue to use through hole components? I can envision connectors being used for some time, but what about the other component types?
Program: Board Talk
Improve Etching Performance
This paper discusses a new technology to improve etching performance using shiny side surface treatment on copper foil.
Program: Materials Tech
Removal of Oxidation from Bare PCBs
What would be the best method or product for cleaning bare PCBs that have a small amounts of oxidation? I know that proper storage and handling may solve the problem, but what would you suggest?
Program: Board Talk
Poor Wetting On OSP Coated PCBs
We are experiencing poor wetting on one OSP coated PCB using a lead-free, no clean paste. We see this problem on just one board part number. Where should we look to solve this problem?
Program: Board Talk
Board Performance after Pb-Free Reflow
