Building Access and Security is critical to our nation's needs. Orchid's building access technology integrates precision automatic door motion control electronics with sophisticated communications technology to enable low-cost networked building ac...

This paper deals with the thermal effects of joule heating in a high interconnect density, thin core, buildup, organic flip chip substrate....

The increasing demand for smaller & smaller portable electrical devices is leading to the increasing usage of extremely small components in the SMT assembly lines....

Sometimes you just cannot clean with water. Good examples of this are: circuits with batteries attached, cleaning prior to encapsulation, ionic cleanliness testing, and non-sealed or other water sensitive parts. High impedance or high voltage circuit...

During the last 5 years, the processes to remove flux residues especially for lead-free and challenging geometries have demonstrated new cleaning obstacles which have to be overcome...

During the last 5 years, the processes to remove flux residues especially for lead-free and challenging geometries have demonstrated new cleaning obstacles which have to be overcome.i A new methodology has been recently developed to further increas...

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....
