This guideline document establishes an acoustic emission (AE) method to evaluate the performance and reliability of surface...

While there are a variety of industry test vehicles for the examination of materials compatibility, most available test boards leave something to be desired as there is often a dramatic difference in materials between such test boards and produced assemblies. A test vehicle was needed which could be used for both ion chromatography and SIR testing that would be more representative of mainstream...

Cleaning of stencils and misprinted PCBs has taken an increasingly important role in surface mount technology. Fine and ultra-fine pitch lands, together with other advanced packages, place new demands on stencil cleaning. Paste volume is a critical issue for fine, ultra-fine, chip-scale, BGA and flip-chip components. Insufficient solder due to clogging of stencil apertures is a primary cause of...
