The IPC-WP-116A white paper provides guidance to control and mitigate risks associated with the introduction of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) in electrical and electronic assemblies. Guidance to control and mitigate risks associated with the introduction of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) in electrical and electronic assemblies is provided. A template for developing a Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Control...
Due to a concern in the electronic packaging industry about solderability problems, Foster Gray, PC Interconnects, developed this document for the Surface Mount Council. Areas covered are: design for the soldering process; solderable PWBs; solderable components and soldering process. Five different industry perspectives provide analysis of these issues. 35 pages. Released August 1991.
The IPC-WP-026 white paper explores blockchain as an emerging technology that has a core strength in providing an immutable, auditable, transparent and secure environment for data exchanges. These advantages make it a prime candidate for implementation in the electronics industry. The IPC-WP-026 white paper explores blockchain and its limitations and challenges. It also provides a few directions...
Manufacturers of high reliability electronics have been working for many years to mitigate the deleterious effects of tin whisker formation. One highly effective means to suppress the growth of tin whiskers is to replace the pure tin plating with reflowed tin-lead solder. One approach is to fully consume the tin plating by tin-lead solder during the SMT reflow process. This phenomenon of tin...
Status of the technology discussion on the various methodologies for mounting and interconnecting active devices to a variety of substrate materials is summarized in this document. Reviews mounting techniques of tape automated bonding (TAB), chip on board (COB) and flip chip. Examinations of the most commonly used substrate options of laminate, ceramic and silicon are also reviewed. Editor: John...
The problem of counterfeit components continues to escalate. It is no longer limited to high value items like semiconductors. It can include connectors, resistors, passive components or anything that is in demand. What more could you be doing to ensure that the components you purchase are genuine? What can you do about component traceability? Jack Stradley, Manager, Business Development &...
