Using a Fluorescence Microscopy + dye penetrant test on EEE Parts

  • Posted by Francisco Javier Aparicio Rebollo
  • On February 19, 2021
  • 0
The Fluorescence Microscopy + dye penetrant test is a technique that combines two inspection methods commonly used for the detection of surface anomalies such as cracks, porosity, laps, delaminations, and other discontinuities.

Mounting Guidelines: Soldering, PCB Handling & Rework

What are the optimum soldering conditions and solder fillet? The best solder fillet for all SMT applications is one which makes a reliable connection and which best withstands the environmental exposures of the products with minimum degradation. This fillet is difficult to describe quantitatively for all parts. The optimum fillet ranges in height from about 1/3 to 2/3 of the part termination height. This does not mean that all solder joints outside of this range should be repaired. It does mean that this is the target for the process engineer to reach for in his process. As many as possible of the solder fillets on the board should be in this range.

Need a 3D Characterization Testing? Use Scanning Microscopy CLSM

  • Posted by Fernando Teberio
  • On July 2, 2020
  • 1
Modern manufacturing techniques depend on 3D measurement data combined with CAD/CAM techniques for quality control of high-precision components or mass production. Typically, contact measurement has been widely utilized by the industry. However, for complex and small 3D structures, the application of contact measurement is cumbersome or sometimes impossible. Therefore, noncontact measurement has gradually received much attention from researchers and industry.

Studying Critical elements in PCB systems: Plated Through Via (PTV)

  • Posted by Mari Carmen López
  • On March 13, 2020
  • 0
Plated Through Vias (PTV) are critical elements in PCB systems and special care must be paid during their inspection in order to ensure the reliability, as they are one the main factors that determine the PCB Quality. The functionality and reliability of PTVs are dictated by: the plated through hole architecture (height/diameter), plating (thickness and quality) and other PCB general characteristics (materials and design).

Plated Through Via (PTV) Manufacturing Defects

  • Posted by Mari Carmen López
  • On March 13, 2020
  • 0
The performance of PCB systems are sensitive to variations in the plating thickness of its vias, depends on the current/time in the copper plating bath and the throwing power. Insufficient plating thickness reduces the mechanical and thermal properties of the board and may lead to fatigue or overstress cracking, such us corner cracking and barrel cracking described below.

Why occur Thermomechanical Failures in Plated Through Vias (PTV)?

  • Posted by Francisco Javier Aparicio Rebollo
  • On March 6, 2020
  • 0
Failures in plated through vias (PTV) can be related to different causes, some of them discussed elsewhere. Amongst them, thermomechanical fatigue is the most frequent failure mechanism observed in plated through systems. Hence, the present post analyses the typical thermally induced failures in PTV architectures.

Discover a PCB Failure Analysis: the Pad Cratering

  • Posted by Mari Carmen López
  • On March 11, 2019
  • 0
One of the major failure modes encountered in PCB assembly is Pad cratering. This term is coined to describe a fracture at the pad/resin interface (adhesive failure) or within the resin beneath pads (cohesive failure) that extend along the whole pad length (see the figure) and leads to the complete separation of the pad from the PCB. This failure mode is especially relevant for assembled BGA, CGA and bottom termination components fabricated by lead-free and halogen-free processes and it is related to mechanical stresses experienced in PCB systems.
