Abstract: |
HISTORY: * In the late 1970s an abrupt unpredictable loss of insulation resistance was observed in PCBs, which were subject to hostile climatic conditions of high relative humidity and temperature while having an applied voltage. * The loss of resistance, even leading to a short circuit was observed to be due to the growth of a subsurface filament from the anode to the cathode. * The term "Conductive Anodic Filamentation" (CAF) was coined.... |
