As most of the world converts to lead-free manufacturing, the concern over tin whiskers as a reliability hazard has grown due to the emergence of pure tin as a dominate component surface finish. A significant amount of research on tin whisker formation and tin whisker mitigating strategies has been performed in both commercial and defense industries. This working paper is a summary of the...

This original research was a cooperative effort between the EMPF and IPC, released as EMPF-RR-0013 in 1993 for better understanding of ionic cleanliness testing. The IPC Ionic Conductivity/Ion Chromatography Test Task Group has validated its continued importance and relevance to the cleaning community and IPC-TR-583 is the result. It includes how solvent temperature influences the final...

This Technical Report details the investigations into identifying stress tests that distinguish between robust and non-robust surface finishes. A robust finish will pass a test for solderability whereas a non-robust finish will fail. The stress tests identified do not necessarily duplicate real world environment (fabrication of the bare printed board through assembly), but they must correlate to...

Ion chromatography has been recognized as a method for which the data output is ion specific and very precise in the quantification of ionic residues. This paper is intended for those contemplating the setup of an ion chromatography lab and provides many of the practical considerations that should be addressed, including the core components of an ion chromatograph system such as carrier solutions...
