Although blade contact angle is a critical stencil printing parameter, screen printers have so far been unable to vary it ‘on-the-fly’, in software. The recently released Assembléon/Yamaha YGP printer has changed this, and has made new application re...
The increased interest in halogen-free assemblies is a result of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) exerting pressure on electronic equipment manufacturers to eliminate halogens. The NGOs primary focus is on resolving global environmental issues and...
The shock reliability of solder joints has become a major issue for the electronic industry partly because of the ever increasing popularity of portable electronics and partly due the transition to lead free solders....
XLamp LEDs lead the solid-state lighting industry in brightness while providing
a reflow-solderable design that is optimized for ease of use and thermal
management. Lighting applications featuring XLamp LEDs maximize light
output and increase desi...
Today the lead free soldering process is a must in commercial electronics and it is also coming more and more important in automative and industrial electronics sectors in the near future. The most common choices for lead free solders are different T...
Significant improvements in coating deposition control can be achieved with advanced ultrasonic coating technology that provides precise control of the film thickness....
Failure due to board flex cracks persists as the dominant failure mode in multi-layer
ceramic capacitors (MLCC). (...) This paper is intended to show the impact of temperature cycling, high-temperature life
tests, and multiple bend exposures to the...
Is screen printing technology able to keep pace with rising quality demands and increasingly complex board layouts?
Or, is new jet printing technology ready to fill the gap? A comparison study between the two methods reveals some interesting differe...
